The AdvancedFrame kayak is a delight to paddle and very comfortable – even a beginner can cruise along for hours. It’s fast and comfortable enough for a multi-day trip, but quick and easy to set up for a casual paddle. It cuts through chop easily on the open ocean, but also glides beautifully on a lake or calm river.

TESTIMONIAL
"…I settled into it immediately, and in no time was stroking confidently and making great pace going up river against the current.
I was also very pleased with the kayaks tracking ability…"

Comfortable for Hours
There’s nothing worse than a hard seat giving you a numb bum and an aching lower back from lack of support.
Whether you are jumping in the AdvancedFrame kayak for half an hour, or going out on a multi-day expedition, you want to be comfortable and supported. Fortunately, Advanced Elements have done a wonderful job of making the AdvancedFrame kayak a delight to sit in!
- Your back is supported by the clip-in seat so you are comfortable all day
- Your bum is cushioned by the low pressure inflatable floor reducing the risk of numbness
- Optional foot brace to assist paddling technique
TESTIMONIAL
"Hi Emily,
Have taken my kayak out 3 times in the last 2 weekends now… it’s quite addictive…
I could stay out ALL day if the weather permitted"

Durable and Reliable
Let’s be clear – the AdvancedFrame kayak is NOT a pool toy!
Advanced Elements have crafted a puncture-resistant inflatable kayak that won’t let you down.
I have been paddling the AdvancedFrame range for over a decade now, and I have never had to do a repair.
- Multi-layer material design for protection of the inner tubes – there is very little risk of puncture
- Durable triple layer PVC tarpaulin hull so you don’t have to worry about damage on rocks
- Dual main air chambers for safety – if one chamber of the inner tube is compromised, the other will still function
- 1 year manufacturer’s warranty from Advanced Elements
Convenient – Quick and Easy to Set Up & Pack Away – Perfect for Travel
Set up and pack away seems to be the thing most people don’t consider when they are comparing inflatable kayaks.
But it is SO important!
If your inflatable kayak is a drag to inflate, you will end up just leaving it in the bag. What a waste…
The AdvancedFrame kayak comes pre-assembled from the Advanced Elements factory. This means there is no complicated set up, you just unfold, inflate, clip the seat in and go. Takes about 5 minutes from bag to water.
How to set up the AdvancedFrame Kayak
Packs up into a bag about the size of a suitcase for easy storage and transport – planes, trains and automobiles, the world is your oyster!

What type of conditions is the AdvancedFrame kayak suitable for?
The AdvancedFrame is designed to be a day touring type boat, for flat or open water. The bow and stern have a rigid semi-frame that gives it a hard edge. This greatly improves the tracking over traditional inflatables. The AdvancedFrame is fine for class 1 and 2 rivers, and durable enough for class 3, however it is really designed to paddle in a straight line, and therefore not recommended for rivers above class 3. When choosing a kayak for class 3 whitewater or greater, you really want a boat with a very rounded hull that will not grip on to the current, especially in eddys, like our Attack Whitewater Kayak. Unfortunately kayaks with very rounded hulls will not paddle very straight on flat water.
What's the difference?
The AdvancedFrame and the AdvancedFrame Sport inflatable kayaks are the same length width and look like the same design… so why did Advanced Elements create two of them??

Bernadette C. 
AUFreedom on the water
I have always loved paddling on the river and on still water but it was impossible for me to do it independently. You can’t stop me now. In less than 10 minutes after pulling up I’m on the water. The pack up is even quicker and the kayak actually fits in the bag! Interestingly, since buying my kayak, many of my friends have invited me to join them with their kayaks and paddle boards. We are even discussing an extended trip. I live on the Murray River and there are also many lakes and waterholes nearby so I’m blessed for choice. I was born with the lower part of my left arm missing and am still able to manage my Advanced Elements Kayak with ease on and off the water. You couldn’t find a happier customer.

Pauline S. AULove my new yak!
Purchased my single person advancedframe kayak after recommendation and have not been disappointed. Really easy to assemble/disassemble and fold up into the boot of my car for easy transport. Great handling on the water. So far heaps of fun had and more to come.

Gary P. AUAdvanceFrame Kayak - great product
Before buying the kayak, I spoke with Emily a number of times who was really helpful, provided good advice and answered all my questions. The kayak and all the accessory items where delivered to VIC within 3 days, great service. I've tried out the kayak in the bay and am very pleased with it, setting the kayak up is easy and I felt comfortable and confident in it. I would highly recommend the kayak and Oz Inflatables.

My first outing was on Narrabeen lake in Sydney and the kayak performed better than expected. Even towards the end of the outing when the wind picked up the kayak tracked true.

Zabdiel J. AUAmazing Kayak!
I've used the kayak a couple of time now, and I can say that inflating them is getting easier, takes like 5 min. The bag was bigger than expected, but I can still put 2 kayaks on my civic hatchback and have space for 2 small suitcases. The only "problem" is that you need to let them dry before putting back into the bag, so sometimes they are on my living room

This kayak is such a good buy, very responsive, fast, handles well, the choppy waters we have at time where I live. One con- the drying process of the inner main chamber is a bit difficult, but that big of an issue though. I would recommend this product.

Scott G. AUAdvanced Frame Kayak
Over 2 days paddled this Kayak up 2 rivers in SW Tasmania wilderness. Found it very stable and dry. Got into it the first time from my yacht and second time out of a dinghy. I was able to carry the inflatable Kayak on the dinghy to transfer back to the yacht. Love it and have some more big plans for it on this trip.

Maryann O. AUAdvanced Frame Kayaks x 2
We have used our two kayaks four times in three weeks. Our previous hard shell kayaks only once in 18 months. So easy to transport and use by comparison, and we can even transport them in our little buzz box Hyundai I20. With a little practice we can even get them back in the bag!! Highly recommend them

If you are thinking of purchasing an inflatable kayak from OZ inflatables DO IT! Emily will provide you with the best customer service in getting you fitted up. I've had mine for a few months and its as easy to use as you see in the videos. Stable on the water and lots of fun and quick and easy to use up and put away, wonderful purchase.

Kerry S. AUA real Surprise
I received my inflatable AdvanceFrame Kayak as a birthday surprise and what a surprise it was. After some practice inflates in the loungeroom to get the hang of setting it up and pulling it down and packing it back up, I realised how easy it actually was. The instructions said '5 mins to inflate' well that was pretty accurate. And about the same to deflate and pack back into its carry bag. Time to get out on the water. Again, I had no trouble setting it up using the Duel Action hand pump with pressure the gauge. Getting into it was a bit of a struggle as you really need to straddle it and squat down into it. I'm not a young man any more and I found that I was using joints in ways I haven't used in a long time!! Anyway, this, I found was the easiest way and really the only way to get in and out of an inflatable Kayak and get going. My wife and I have Kayaked in the past but in traditional hard bodied Kayaks but once on the water I found that it was very easy to control and manouver.

Odette M. AUAll round great kayak
I found the Advanced Frame kayak easy to set up, taking about 10 minutes to inflate and light in the water. I bought the adjustable seat which is super comfy and can fit the longest of legs inside the. I would highly recommend this quality kayak to anyone from beginner (like me) to the expert kayaker looking for a light, portable, quality craft

Julie L. AUWonderful service, wonderful product
Emily is fantastic support with my decision and after sales service. I have taken the kayak out several times in flat and rough conditions. It handles well with direction and speed. It is comfortable with the inflatable mat and seat although it took me a bit to adjust the seat to fit.

Mark L. AUEfficient, sturdy, stable and comfortable!
Everything promised, this kayak delivered in spades. Efficient - easy to paddle for long periods of time, cuts through calm and choppy water with ease. Sturdy - surprised how strong the materials are and how well it has been put together. Stable - the inflated cells sitting with side of my thighs make this kayak the most stable i have ever paddled (sure it's wider and I lose straight line speed - but Im not going out in it for racing) Comfortable - I'm sitting on an inflatable floor between inflatable bouyancy chambers, all flouting on water - think abut it, nothing could be more comfortable. The seat back with infinite support adjustment gives me so many seating options. Not having to lift a kayak up onto rook racks any more (with sore and worn our shoulders) has allowed me to easily get onto the water again. I can't fault my purchase in any way.

Carol A. AUAdvancedFrame Kayak
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 foot pump. On the water it is easy to paddle and very stable and comfortable. It tracks straight and turns easily. I like to re-inflate it in the garden to clean and dry but it folds up well. I am delighted with this kayak and am looking forward to many adventures.

Sarah G. AUQuick to inflate and great fun
Overall experience - terrific! Easy to inflate and took <10 minutes on our second attempt, a bit longer on the first as we were reading the instruction manual. The Kayak travelled true even in fairly strong wind and simple to deflate. We throw them in the back of the car and wash them down when we get home (all our adventures have been in salt water). We dry them in our courtyard semi inflated and have had no reason to pack them back in the bag.

Tomas V. AUkayaking easy
10 mins to set up, 10 minutes to get back into the car. Kayak is very stable, under normal condition on flat water you get no water inside. Use it now 3x week.
