SUPMODE Competitors

Employee-owned NRS, Inc. is a leading manufacturer of high-performance inflatable boats and SUP boards, and of rugged, innovative gear for anyone seeking adventure on the water. Born in a college professor’s garage in 1972 as Northwest River Supplies, NRS has become a major force in the outdoor industry, inspiring and equipping countless paddlers and anglers in the U.S. and around the world.

We are a stand up paddle brand, we are a lifestyle brand, we are racers, we are surfers, we are anglers, we are industry leaders, and we are technical innovators. The technical innovations are what allow us to stand apart. From designing the world's first fishing specific stand up board to creating a proprietary carbon/innegra weave, BOTE continues to push stand up paddle boarding forward. These innovations allow our customers to paddle faster, further, and with purpose.

From our humble beginnings over 25 years ago in the sleepy coastal town of Santa Cruz to becoming a globally recognized brand, we have never lost sight of who we are and what we do. We are part of a global community of surfers, shapers, designers, and craftsman who are connected through surfing and the pursuit of perfection. We take pride in every board we make and celebrate the millions of waves around the world that have been ridden and look forward to being a part of the lineup for years to come. We are Surftech, The Original Board Manufacturing Company, and We Live For This.
