Who is the Drop-Stitch Kayak Package for?
Paddlers who need (or want) a rigid kayak and
- Want the best speed and tracking
- Want a stable kayak to take their family paddling
- Use a caravan to travel
- Want a kayak that is easy to set-up and easy to paddle
- Need a lot of leg-room
- Need a lot of back support
- Are apartment dwellers
Here’s why this kayak is the best when it comes to paddling performance
Speed
The Drop-Stitch Floor has very little drag in the water, so you can go faster than the regular floor allows. With two people paddling in sync, this kayak really flies!
Straight Tracking
The high-pressure Drop-Stitch Floor creates corners on the hull of the kayak, which helps the kayak to glide straight in the water.
Spacious
There is plenty of room for dogs, children, camping gear, fishing gear and unlike most tandem kayaks where you are squished in like sardines, there is plenty of room for two people to paddle independently.
Versatile
You can paddle with a wide open cockpit or fully enclosed with spray skirts if you are in cold weather or open ocean.
Stable
The wide flat hull allows you to relax when you are paddling and the rigid floor is easy to step in and out of.
Durable
All of the Advanced Elements kayaks that we sell are ruggedly durable from the outside – you don’t have to worry about punctures from submerged objects.
The AdvancedFrame Convertible Elite Kayak is made of very high quality materials. Not only are the inner tubes thoroughly protected by several layers of extremely durable materials, the Drop-Stitch Floor is also very durable and can easily handle dogs and fishing gear.
With multiple air chambers, multiple layers covering the main chambers and the extra-tough PVC tarpaulin on the hull, you don’t really have to worry about punctures.
All products are covered by the Advanced Elements 12 month’s warranty.
Convertible
The AdvancedFrame Convertible Elite is designed to be paddled solo or tandem.
Quick and Easy Set-up
Comes pre-assembled so there is no complicated set up – just inflate and paddle!

Drop-Stitch Floor
This high-pressure rigid floor gives you amazing performance on the water. Unlike the Backbone which has to be installed and removed each time you paddle, the Drop-Stitch Floor can be deflated and folded up inside your kayak when you are done, so it sitting there ready to be inflated for next time.
- The edges of the floor create a chine in the hull of the kayak which helps it to track even straighter when paddling
- The high pressure floor spreads the weight of the paddlers more evenly, so the hull is flatter and glides better through the water
