Description
The Advanced Elements® AdvancedFrame Expedition Elite Inflatable Kayak is the natural evolution of inflatable kayaks. A hybrid of a folding frame kayak and an inflatable kayak, the Expedition incorporates the proven aluminum rib-frame technology in the bow and stern, and Drop-stitch technology in the floor, to provide paddling performance that rivals that of a hard-shell kayak. Working together to deliver optimal paddling performance, the aluminum ribs form a performance shape that cuts through the water while the Drop-stitch floor provides unparalleled rigidity in an inflatable and creates hull chine. 9 Chambers provide additional buoyancy and unique kayak shape. Easy-to-set-up Twistlok™ valves and high-flow Spring™ valves allow for quick prep time. The raised deck and adjustable lumbar-support seat let you paddle for hours in comfort. Welded seams, a hard-edge bow and stern, and molded rubber handles complete the total-performance design for elite, highly portable adventures. Includes rudder mount, duffel bag with removable shoulder straps, and repair kit. 13’L x 32″W. Folded: 31″L x 16″W x 10″H. Weight: 42 lbs. Max Wt. Cap.: 450 lbs.
