During a stay at Noosaville we went kayaking on the Noosa River. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dgO0JQ1Eqbw We had a place with a beach right on the Noosa River,
“Great – I love it – I did a lot of research to decide on the best kayak and I couldn’t be happier. The AdvancedFrame Convertible Elite Kayak is so easy to set up and pack down.”
“To say I LOVE it would be an understatement. It is simply awesome, I can not believe how stable it is and how well it tracks through the water and is really reactive.”
I love kayaking at Broadbeach Waters on the Gold Coast – it’s such a variety of sights in such a small area! I launched at
“The AdvancedFrame Ultralite Kayak is easy to set up. It’s really really stable and tracks well. Great streamlined design and very bright and easily seen by other water craft including powered.”
“This company deserves nothing short of 5 stars. The kayak we bought is AdvancedFrame Convertible Elite Kayak. It is fantastic.”
“We love our AdvancedFrame Convertible Elite Kayak, very stable, comfortable and easy to paddle with plenty of room. The Touring 4-Part Kayak Paddle & PackLite 4-Part Kayak Paddle are both well-balanced. The Double Action Hand Pump with Gauge works well and easy to read the pressure gauge”
“Everything promised, this AdvancedFrame Kayak delivered in spades. Efficient – easy to paddle for long periods of time, cuts through calm and choppy water with ease.”
“I love the AdvancedFrame Kayak! Easy to transport, pump up and carry to the water and to get in. Thank you for the excellent customer service.”
“The AdvancedFrame Convertible Elite Kayak performed beautifully – even on a 7km paddle back into a 20kt headwind!”
“Emily is dedicated to getting you into the right kayak based on who you are and what you want to do with your Kayak and not just sell you what she is making the best profit on or what the manufacture requires her to sell.”
“For both ease of transport and what we plan to do, inflatables seemed a good option. Emily was exceptionally helpful and once we made the decision to purchase, our StraitEdge Inflatable Kayak was on the way the next day.”
“I really like the firm drop stitch floor which is great for our doggo’s claws. The kayak feels very sturdy and stable. Highly recommended”
“As an older, not so strong female the kayak is a bit heavier and more awkward to carry than I expected but easy to pump up with the Bellows Foot Pump. On the water it is easy to paddle and very stable and comfortable.”
“I finally got the chance to take my AdvancedFrame Expedition Elite Kayak out yesterday on Port Phillip Bay. As mentioned by many other reviewers, great customer service and attention to my concerns and to making sure I made the right choice for my needs.”
https://youtu.be/78VsYGohKCU We decided to take the kids out for some sunshine and fresh air in our AdvancedFrame Convertible Elite family kayak. We launched from Yacht
“It is incredibly stable & I do feel very safe in it which was one thing I did have some reservations with originally. Not any more though!!”
“Emily was a great help when choosing a kayak. The individualised video she created for me really assisted in the selection process.”
“Never paddled such a comfortable AdvancedFrame Kayak. Really easy and quick set up and pull down. Great to be back out on the water again. One super happy customer!!!”
“Super prompt delivery, great information, everything in stock – exactly how online businesses should be!”
“Love how quick the AdvancedFrame Sport Kayak is to set up. I am truly loving the experience, especially as nobody else is around to disturb the wildlife!”
“My first paddle and it felt so much more enjoyable than hard plastic kayaks usually available at resorts. I was totally sold.”
“The new Lumbar Seat for my AdvancedFrame Sport Kayak, that gives extra inflatable back support is very comfortable. I always have someone that is interested in my inflatable kayak where ever I go, that wants to know where they can get one.”
“I’m very happy with my AdvancedFrame Sport Kayak – great choice! It got here on Monday and I’ve been out twice already on the Swan River in the beautiful Perth winter weather.”

“Buying my fabulous AdvancedFrame Sport Kayak has given me freedom and independence. No more stressing about moving, loading, carrying or waiting for someone to help me.”
“Emily’s support in purchasing this AdvancedFrame Convertible Elite Kayak was excellent. Informative and helpful on all counts.”
“Excellent, we had our maiden voyage last weekend at Caloundra & we’re really impressed with the AdvancedFrame Convertible Elite Kayak. It was comfortable, tracked beautifully, & was effortless to paddle.”
“I liked the AdvancedFrame Convertible Elite Kayak a lot to begin with, and the inflatable foot braces have transformed it. They’re very easy to fit as you inflate the boat, and they’re surprisingly stable in holding their position against foot pressure even when not done up very tightly.”
“Wow! Works a treat. The Double Action Hand Pump with Gauge pumps up my kayak so easy, I’m so impressed!”
“If you are considering the purchase of an inflatable kayak (a very convenient way to be able to enjoy waterways without having to carry on roof racks etc), I would definitely recommend talking to Emily at Oz Inflatable Kayaks.”
“I was nervous at first of the sequence of which compartment of the AdvancedFrame Sport to fill first but was able to do it. Valves are good for fast inflation and deflation. All the chambers are removable for easy drying and cleaning.”
“The AdvancedFrame Kayak is very easy to set-up. Paddles are remarkably straight and no lifting onto the car roof needed. I will be taking it away on our next caravan trip. It’s so easy to use. I am very happy with my kayak and the help I received from Emily.”
“I am very impressed with the performance of the AdvancedFrame Sport Kayak.I come from a Sea Kayak and wanted something that would track well and not be blown about by the wind.”
“I purchased the AdvancedFrame Sport Kayak as I missed kayaking with my daughter when she took her hard plastic sit-ins north to live. It’s the most comfortable kayak I’ve ever sat in and easy to paddle. I use it mainly in Cattai Creek and into the Hawkesbury River.”
“I purchased the Advanced Elements AdvancedFrame Convertible Elite Kayak as a joint Christmas present for my partner and I. It’s been easy to set up and the pumping isn’t too bad given its size. Both my partner (6’1″), and I find it comfortable and spacious in solo or tandem mode.”
“The AdvancedFrame Convertible Elite Kayak is great and works well with the dog. Best option is to have her sit at the front.”
“The AdvancedFrame Convertible Elite Kayak was on sale here in NZ just before Christmas so we got that for myself and husband (not a regular paddler). We went on our first outing yesterday and had a great time.”
“The AdvancedFrame Convertible Elite Kayak is a great product. Robust, stable, reasonable pace, easy to steer, tracks well and your furry friend can go with you. Love it!”
“Dear Emily, love the AdvancedFrame Convertible Elite Kayak! It is awesome. Thanks for your tips on estimating pressure within the kayak chambers – I probably under filled the main chamber a bit, but the drop stitch floor was spot on.”
“I am absolutely thrilled with my AdvancedFrame Sport Kayak and the outstanding advice and support I received from Emily when making the decision about which model kayak would suit me and my needs best. I love using the kayak and the best thing is that I can take it anywhere.”
“I purchased my Advanced Elements AdvancedFrame Expedition Elite Kayak a few months ago and have been absolutely loving it! I can highly recommend this kayak to anyone who wants a high performing kayak but doesn’t have the option to store and transport a traditional kayak.”
“I know I left it a bit late in life to get into kayaking. Better late than never. For the first half of this year I spent most of my time at Tweed Heads helping out my sister in law, who was diagnosed with cancer. She lived across the road from the Tweed River, so it was ideal for me to go out and buy an inexpensive inflatable kayak…
“I appreciated being able to have my final questions/concerns answered before purchasing my kayak. Emily knows her product well, is friendly and easily accessible by phone. Payment and delivery were fast. Great service!”
“We put our AdvancedFrame Sport Kayak in at Hindmarsh Island. I haven’t done mine yet (tentative about back) but I did have a little go in Tony’s & it was fab. So comfy! It’s like sitting on a great soft lounge chair. It’s supportive of my back, very easy to paddle and getting along easily in water. Very impressed, & happy!”
“We love our new kayak, the AdvancedFrame Convertible Elite Kayak. We can’t believe how comfortable and stable the kayak is. We have previously owned sea
“Recently used the Kayak Cart with my AdvancedFrame Sport Kayak. Even though the kayak is easy to carry, the cart made it all much easier (especially when a hill was involved). It is very handy if you have a bit further to walk to get to the waters edge. Light weight and compact. Found it quick and easy to attach and detach from the kayak. Stowed easily on the back deck of the kayak whilst paddling. The pictures were taken at Lake Conjola, South Coast, NSW.”
Heath recently shared to me via email his Glenelg River adventure together with some stunning images. “Good afternoon Emily, we had a great trip and the AdvancedFrame Convertible Kayaks for the most part held up really well and I was very surprised about how effortless they were to paddle long distances.”
“We have been out in the Kayaks 4 times now, once on an inland river and the rest of the time out in the estuaries around Brisbane. Both kayaks have been fantastic, they cut through the water really well and they track very straight even when paddling hard.”
Our maiden voyage was kayaking between Somerset Dam and Lake Wivenhoe.
“The kayak, AdvancedFrame Convertible Elite Kayak, you recommended was easily carried the 200m to the water. It was windy but the kayak tracked perfectly and we were both impressed by the kayaks performance and stability. The service from you was very speedy. “

“Hello Emily, I trust that you are going well and business is rewarding your efforts. The attached photo isn’t particularly dramatic, but reflects another good paddle with our AdvancedFrame Convertible Kayak around the mouth of the Maroochy River while holidaying at the Cotton Tree Holiday Park in March 2019; very restful.”

How did we get so many great inflatable kayak reviews?
Easy – by ensuring our customers get the right kayak.
If you want to know how to choose a kayak, start with our comprehensive list of kayak buying guides.
It’s not that people are dishonest – far from it. Our customers genuinely LOVE their inflatable kayaks!
The problem with reviews is that they can lead you to thinking you need something you don’t.
For example, maybe you are a beginner and you’re looking at a bunch of online reviews for the AirFusion EVO. This is our fastest kayak, but it is not our stablest. Experienced kayakers don’t really care about stability, they are interested in speed. So the kayak will have heaps of excellent reviews because it is super-fast.
BUT …
If you purchased the AirFusion EVO because of all those great reviews from experienced kayakers, you would be making a mistake. As a beginner, you need to start with something more stable, such as the AdvancedFrame.
First, you need to get some advice on which kayaks are right for you. THEN, you can look at the reviews to help make a decision.
Getting advice is not a big deal – we do it all the time. Here are the factors we consider when helping you choose a kayak:
At Oz Inflatable Kayaks you will find quality Kayaks that are convenient, durable and heaps of fun. If you’re looking for your next adventure, let Oz Inflatable Kayaks take you there.
