Light-weight, simple, and strong, we rivet most of our hardware to our frame. Our aluminum rivets are self-sealing, reducing the water that can get inside your longeron tubing. Learn more from our friends at Alcoa.
Faces of Folbot: Desert Kayaking?
Today we introduce a loyal Folboter in Arizona. He owns/has owned two Aleuts and has shared his passion for Folbot with a friend.
He shares a few beautiful pictures of his friend on the water in a red Kiawah. We love the contrast of the cacti and dry land in the background of these photos.
Love these pics! Share yours with us at info@folbot.com.
Folbot Fotos: The Marlboro Man
Not that Marlboro Man. We’re sharing photos from Richard R. this week, taken at the Patuxent River Park near Upper Marlboro, Maryland (see what we did there?).
Peaceful. Serene. Thanks for sharing these, Richard!
Not sure about your Friday plans…but we think it’s time to get on the water. #TGIF
Gear We Love: Sperry Top-Siders
Ahhhh, the boat shoe. A classic. But did you ever wonder why they’re called boat shoes?
Sperry Top-Sider, Lanyard style
Sperry boat shoes have been a ingenious product from inception in 1935. After spending many years as a Marine, Paul Sperry, was looking for a shoe that wouldn’t slip on a wet boat surface. After seeing the traction his dog could get on slippery ice, he fashioned grooves like a dog’s paw on the rubber sole of the first–you got it–boat shoe!
Since that time, Sperry’s can be counted on for incomparable quality and innovation. The great thing about the top-siders is they dry quickly and seem to fit better after wearing them wet a few times. Also, they go great from work to play (and vice versa). And nowadays, they’re making everything from sneakers to sunglasses!
We can’t comment on the sunglasses, but if they’re half as good as their top-sider cousin, we’re sold.

Folbot Fotos: Cooper in Edisto
Wait, what?
That’s what happens when a Folbot owner takes his Cooper to Edisto, South Carolina (not this Edisto). Confusion (for us). And also great fun (for him)!
Hope this inspires your weekend! Get out there and have great one!
