Bote Zeppelin Inflatable Kayak Unboxing and Review | Underwater Gators in the Wekiva River

[@mcmallets]

Bote should be paying you. Great review

[@williamnappa6211]

I was waiting for you to stand up

[@cheriemccoy-bricker9840]

Loved the video of the gator swimming underwater!! Great footage!!

[@regal28express64]

Great video. The zeppelin is a great kayak. I have a zeppelin also. Bote made a kayak and has the best customer service around.

I just ordered mine THIS MORNING. Did an intensive amount of research & comparisons... I want to swim our of mine & snorkel a bit.. do you know if it's fairly easy to re-enter from the water? I'm hoping it is because of the 9" high pontoons.

[@gailbagley837]

I live in FL, so really appreciate the Wekiva River locale. Especially like the how-to deflate, fold-up and clean later advice. Thanks.

[@kellywenzlick8377]

Love the new editing. And cool under water shots of the gator.

[@UncleIanYorkshire]

Excellent video, though still not sure about inflatable boats and Gators with big teeth. The video of the gator swimming is awesome, hope to see more wildlife shots.

[@NessieMay]

Congrats on the new kayak. Love these nature vlogs they are so relaxing. The underwater shots, amazing. 🤩🐊

[@Tuckeylad]

Gotta say Rick, that kayak was a good choice! Easy to inflate and use, just as easy to deflate and put away. Nice one :)

[@lilandygiles2336]

Great underwater shots Rick not only an alligator but also an alligator gar brilliant

[@kennymcbrien]

Great footage of the gator under water Rick.

Very nice review and road trip. I for one would not try to get closer to the gator, I would have hightailed it outta there. Really love these road trip videos and helps non locals (like myself) understand that Florida has so much to offer outside of the theme parks. Thanks for sharing and happy to see there was “0” incidents on this trip!

[@tonybriarwood8702]

Absolutely fantastic Rick I wish we had somewhere in England like that all year round so on my days off from work I can go and relax

[@heatherhatchett7915]

Love the new intro!

[@andrewparker1097]

Oh wow! Love the new kayak Rick. Great review. Enjoy! Ps. Loved the 'rude' from the turtle 🤣😂

[@stevewhitehouse9532]

Great video and that looks a great piece of kit

[@johngosbee5574]

Since you didn't swim with the gator, I think you were perfectly safe! Also, Especially with crevasses and overlaps, you really need to make sure you hang this to full dry. In Florida, this smells in a few weeks without drying care. And, carry a small first aid kit. Not for gators, but to cover cuts or scrapes to your hand. Without band-aid and can't grip down, you can't paddle...

[@thisishowiedewitt76]

8 months later, how’s it holding up?

[@jom5826]

Nice love the review

[@Utubeisazzho]

Have same kayak and 2 of their hd isups two kulas tackle bar xtra cinch straps. We love this company you will have years of beers and sunshine the only b/s you need.

[@TheKayakCrew]

Cool. How do you think it would cope out on the sea? Would it be stable enough if it got a bit choppy?

[@BobbyGees]

This is great love love love it

[@Music-City-Mania]

“Let’s look at the tote that carries your boat.” #rixflixgotrhymes

[@UniversalNatalie]

My anxiety was so high watching you film the gator😱

[@laddanerskit3199]

Really neat kayak, shame BOTE isn't in Europe.

[@RyanNiemer]

Hey Rick, how has this kayak held up? I've seen other videos where people were showing "fit and finish" issues with NEW kayaks, other than the Zeppelin, so I was curious as to the durability of yours. Thanks!

[@marydimassi3354]

Me, too. I just ordered mine this morning after MUCH research & comparisons!

[@christinehoxie3691]

Wind? How does it handle

[@nickihammond3939]

Do you feel like you would be confident fishing and casting on it?

[@larrywenger1750]

Do you have any comments on the drain system that BOTE uses on the Zeppelin.

[@cassandrawoodson1]

The mystery sound could have been a Mourning Dove by the sounds of it.

[@dariadarling]

thought so too

[@MikeJordanUnCamplicated]

Do you know, or can you check the exterior dimensions of that seat?

[@allimarie8743]

What Spring would you recommend for beginner kayakers?

[@bsimpso6]

Wekiva? I’m traumatized by the one time I went there and got destroyed by “no see ums”! Haven’t been back since!😂😢

[@kjnest]

Should have shown strapping in the seat?

[@sweaver10280]

No yellow ones?

[@TopSecretVid]

how is the build quality holding up??

[@MyRicketyLife]

Great!

[@geraldbeauchamp5316]

Only question is it durable material? Like if you were to accidentally row over a rock or oyster bed is it gonna pop?

[@MyRicketyLife]

Military grade pvc

[@andrewbarnard5901]

Have you fished on this?

[@vickistory2724]

It was all fun and beautiful, until you came up on the gator. Nope, I'm out. The Kayak is so cool. But it was a great video.

[@stevenmarvick30]

💖

[@tuzanne]

Great if you actually live near water

[@matt_theb]

I’ve seen videos of gators biting peoples kayak around here and I wouldn’t know how that would go down with an inflatable kayak 😬

[@laura1000]

Not to mention biting the person on the kayak! 😲

[@MrJuniormikey]

It’s a Bigfoot calling

[@EPiche09]

She’s a beaut
