Advanced Elements Kayak
Advanced Elements is a very well known manufacturer of inflatable kayaks. They have a lineup of 8 different kayaks as well as one inflatable canoe. Their products are known to be very good quality but not to be the top performers. Basically when looking at different models they are middle of the road. They are definitely not at the bottom of the list nor are they at the top. Consequently they tend to be very affordable and hugely popular for recreational use.
This Advanced Elements Kayak model is surprisingly easy to setup and take down. When inflating, it is recommended that a gauge pump be used so that you will know the the exact pressure that is required for maximum efficiency. Set up time from beginning to end is usually around 20-30 minutes depending on the size pump used.
Because of the this kayak’s size, always be sure to allow enough time for it to dry. A full hour may be needed to dry the kayak completely. If not dried thoroughly, mildew may result when stored over a period of time. As is the case with many manufacturers, the carrying case seems to be quite small for a craft of this size. You will have trouble fitting everything into the case provided so make plans to carry and stow the kayak in an alternate carrying device or case.
One of the biggest drawbacks to this Advanced Elements inflatable kayak is the sheer weight of the product. Coming in at almost 60 pounds, this model is almost twice the weight of sturdy and less expensive, models. If you plan on doing a considerable amount of solo kayaking, this could be a major factor into your decision.
This Advanced Elements kayak is quite versatile. It is designed mainly for flat water paddling but can definitely handle sea kayaking as well as mild rivers. The spray skirt offers protection from the elements and it is compact enough to be very manoeuvrable.
This kayak is easy to transport and perfect for storing in small spaces. At 36 pounds it can still be carried by one person, transported in the trunk of your car and even checked onto an airplane without having to pay any extra fees. It is the ultimate in convenience and perfect for any person of any age.
For recreational kayakers, the Advanced Elements AdvancedFrame kayak is an excellent choice and with a little care will last you a very long time.

You and your camping gear can all be easily accommodated. The entire unit of the Advanced Elements Kayak comes pre-fabricated allowing you to zip it out and use instantly in a matter of minutes.
Kayaking isn’t easy; it certainly isn’t the safest kind of adventure activity. The Advanced Elements Kayak is a tool alright. However, it’s an asset that could prove its worth only when you begin to understand the finer nuances of the thrill-seeking adventures made possible by gear such as this when you are out there on knuckle-breaking, waters paddling away to your delight.
