While each of our kayaks are designed for the best in performance, we’ve found that there are those who seek even higher performance. For paddlers looking to up the ante in the AdvancedFrame line, we offer our patented BackBone accessory or rigid high-pressure floors that utilize Drop-stitch technology.

Overall we both love it.
Almost every time we go out, someone stops by to comment.
Looks sharp.
easy to set up
easy to take down
easy to transport.
Really great quality.
Extremely stable.
Roomy
paddle holders
We tried the backbone and don't feel it's necessary, plus it adds about 10 minutes to set up.
Get long paddles. I'm 5'11 and a 240mm is good. wife is 5'6 and uses a 230mm up front.
the zip on cover is high quality, fits great and it's fairly easy to put on. Probably best for colder weather although it does give the rear paddler a nice deck.
on that subject..
You need something like a 15x15 elastic net over the thwart in the rear (see pic, it's half filled) because there's no place to put a bag that's easy to get in, except between your legs, or a good place to stash a water bottle.
Get the advance elements hand pump for sure and a cordless electric one if you can, the air chambers are pretty big.
We just fold it up after we use it and set it on top of the bag to get it home, then pump it partly up to wash off and let dry, then fold it and bag it for the next trip.
Even tho it's lightweight, wheels are helpful and there's a good place on the rear deck to show it.
Definitely no regerts with this purchase.

Obviously the biggest drawback to this kayak is having to assemble and disassemble after every use (and every time you clean it). It only takes 5-10 minutes to inflate (even with a cheap hand pump) and even less to deflate. Taking it apart and cleaning it after every use has been the only downside. I mainly kayak in the ocean and also live in the Pacific Northwest, so I need to make sure everything is clean and dry when I pack it up.
It is important to fully inflate all chambers for ideal performance, but you dont want to over inflate or you might damage the kayak. This is why I ordered the Advanced Frame Dual Action Pump with Pressure Gauge, however, cheaper pumps work too. When I've gone solo in this kayak I noticed it sags a bit in the center (to be expected for an inflatable) and the sides of the fabric bow out and can start to collect water. I'm sure with the addition of a spray deck and the backbone this wont be an issue anymore.
I noticed a lot of people complaining about how heavy this kayak is and it is heavy (around 55 pounds) but it is just as heavy as a most hard shell kayaks. Another thing people said in reviews is that they were unable to get the kayak back in the duffel bag. I got mine back in just fine, all you have to do is make sure you get all the air out first.
To sum things up, the Advanced Elements AdvancedFrame Convertable Kayak is an awesome kayak. It is ideal for people who dont want to spend the big bucks on a hard shell kayak and want something that they can fold up and stick in a duffel bag, while still getting the performance you would expect from a hard shell kayak.
Pros:
Great price for a convertible kayak
Can easily fit in the backseat of your car
Made from high quality materials
Great tracking, cuts right through the water
Very stable on the water, even in choppy and windy conditions.
Cons:
Inflating, deflating, and cleanup can be a chore
Spray decks and backbone needed for best performance (but not required)
Pluses
- great amount of space if your taking multiple people - not a problem to paddle alone but there may be better options
- design with outer shell seems perfect for durability - no problems at all to report
- paddles really well and tracks well
- setup is fairly easy - after the first time setup shouldn't take more than 10-15 minutes
- storage is great as it fits into a large bag
Drawbacks
- weight - even though fairly easy to store its pretty heavy to heft around
- drying it out after use is the only reason I cannot give five stars. A certain amount of water gets into the kayak and based on the design its very difficult to dry out unless you remove the inner part and dry seperate - once you do this putting everything back together is definitely a pain.
In conclusion I can highly recommend this boat but just be aware that even though setup is a breeze that drying out and preparing for storage is a bit of a project.

It is easy to completely disassemble for drying and the seats make it more than comfortable.
I would easily recommend this kayak to anyone needing something for 2 people, and our Lab, but can't store a large kayak or canoe.
Che dire, è stata una rivelazione.
Già maneggiandolo si vede la differenza abissale con gli altri, i materiali sono di un altro livello.
Si monta e si smonta in un attimo, i manuali sono in italiano ed è scritto TUTTO quel che c'è da sapere.
La chiglia rigida grazie ai profili di alluminio frontale e posteriore fanno si che tagli l'acqua in modo spettacolare, è incredibile quanto veloce possa andare pagaiando senza troppo sforzo.
E' davvero una lippa...va velocissimo!
Ci siamo divertiti davvero....non è il solito canotto travestito da Kayak!
Il trasporto senza carrello è possibile con facilità in 2 persone, l'anno prossimo compro il carrellino ed anche questa è risolta!
Se poi gli mettete il backbone si irrigidisce a tal punto che sembra davvero un kayak RIGIDO!
Secondo me un accessorio che val la pena è il doppio ponte che chiude sulle cerniere il kayak, per 2 motivi: il primo è che si "eliminano" le cerniere che servono x fissarlo a questo che se non si sta attenti possono graffiare, il secondo è che lo irrigidiscono lateralmente nel senso che non tende più in alcun modo ad aprirsi di lato quando si sale, non che sia Molto avvertibile ma c'è il problema, tanto è vero che il cuscino che è fissato con 2 "strappi" laterali tende ad uscire specie quando non è ben a pressione!
Cmq rimane un prodotto pazzesco, vale quel che costa.
Infatti ho potuto notare che anche con mare mosso NON si è MAI cappottato..peraltro impegnandoci per fare questa prova, non siamo riusciti in alcun modo a farlo girare....dunque è stabile, MOLTO STABILE!
L'unica cosa a cui dovete stare MOLTO attenti è la "pinna" di deriva posteriore che è in gomma dura e che inevitabilmente quando il kayak non è in acqua ma è poggiato sul duro tende a piegarsi a destra o a sinistra a seconda che il kayak sia riverso verso dx o sx.....perfettamente al centro non rimane....bisogna solo prestarci attenzione.....
Ecco se la pinna fosse estraibile sarebbe davvero MOLTO MEGLIO! Ma è così!
Okkio perchè è in gomma e tende a deformarsi.
Basta farci l'kkio quando lo si poggia sul duro.
Un consiglio, prendete anche la sua pompa con il manometro perchè è troppo pratico ed occhio alla conversione ATM e PSI del manometro....OKKIO che 1 ATM del manuale sono circa 2 PSI del manometro....
La pompa ha gli attacchi proprietari del kayak ed inoltre consente di gonfiarlo esattamente come è richiesto dal manuale nè più nè meno, molto importante visto che se esagerate si deforma....IRREPARABILMENTE
Dunque o avete un manometro o, come me, fate lo sforzo di tenere un altro gonfiatore....
Ultima nota, per lavarlo si smonta totalmente nelle sue 3 parti e lo potete lavare bene comodamente anche in una vasca...
Io vi consiglio COMUNQUE di smontarlo e lavarlo bene perchè dopo una sacco di tempo con la pompa dell'acqua, ho notato che c'era ancora sale tra la camera vera e propria e la prima protezione, quella con la cerniera
Questo è MOLTO importante se lo userete come me in mare e pensate di usarlo anche l'anno successivo....
Al lago credo sia una figata assurda visto che non c'è manco questo problema ed io lo trasporto comodamente con la sua sacca completo di TUTTO....questa sarà una prossima prova.
Buon divertimento.
