AdvancedFrame® Elite with Pump

The AdvancedFrame Elite kayak is a perfect kayak for stability and durability for recreational and light touring applications. This kayak is 10.5 feet long and 32 inches wide, which makes it a great entry level kayak for touring in moving water, lake, large bodies of water and protected coastal waters. The kayak is a three layer construction making it puncture and rib resistant even in rocky paddling conditions. The kayak has an aluminum rib-frame at the bow and stern which cut through the water instead of being pushed over the water. The kayak also has a drop-stitch floor which operates the same way as a paddle board by forcing the material into holding shape the air pressure creates rigidity versus only using high pressure to hold shape. This kayak is inflated with low psi which makes it ideal for high temperature usage, the pressure inside the chambers when combined with high temperature can cause over pressurization and ultimately delamination. Since the pressure is so much lower, the kayak does not reach critical pressurization and delamination is not a possibility. The kayak can be inflated with the dual action manual pump in 10 minutes and can remain inflated for long periods of time. This kayak can remain inflated for longer trips and carried on a roof rack just as easily as its storage bag. Electric pumps are available for the inflating, but it is always best to check the pressure with the dual action manual pump and gauge. If you are paddling in windy or wavy conditions you can use a spray skirt to keep warm and dry. The kayak, seats, floor and pump all fit in the storage bag that is the same standard as air craft stow away baggage so it is ideal for transport, home winter storage, RV and hunting/ fishing.
