Who is the Light and Easy Kayak Package for?
Paddlers who need (or want) a lightweight kayak and
- Are under 90kg
- Care about their back being supported
- Want the setting up process to be quick and easy
- Might be beginners and want something stable
- Want a kayak that is a delight to paddle
- Love the idea of a wide-open cockpit that is easy to get in and out of
- Are NOT going in open water or whitewater
Here’s why this is a top-notch lightweight kayak
AdvancedFrame Design
The AdvancedFrame Convertible Kayak has a wide flat hull, giving it excellent stability. Little kids are unpredictable, and don’t always do what they’re told, so it is important that the kayak is forgiving of unexpected movements. A stable kayak means they are less likely to fall over or fall out, you are less likely to capsize and you and the kids will find it easier to get in and out of the kayak. It also means you can relax and enjoy the paddle, you are not concentrating on balance the whole time.
Stable and Wide-Open Cockpit
The AdvancedFrame Sport is a sit-in kayak, but it has a much bigger cockpit than most sit-in kayaks.
The wide-open cockpit makes it easy to get in and out of – great for people who are concerned about tucking their legs in a cockpit.
If you are a beginner, you will love the Light and Easy Kayak Package – the stability and the straight tracking make it a doddle to paddle.
It’s also great because it gives you plenty of room for dogs, small kids and for fishing gear.
The kayak is also STABLE enough for dogs, kids and fishing – sudden movements from an unpredictable element might cause you to capsize in a narrow kayak, but the AdvancedFrame Sport is wide enough to handle surprises!
Foot Brace
The Foot Brace that comes with the Light and Easy Kayak Package allows you to brace your feet so you can use proper paddling technique. This technique isn’t just about going faster, it also gives you a better, full-body work out, and saves your back.
Lumbar Seat
The Lumbar Seat has an inflatable cushion behind the lumbar that you blow up. You can do it as you’re paddling, it should give you an extra support.
Durability
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.
Not only does the AdvancedFrame Sport Kayak have multiple layers protecting the inner tube, the outer hull is made from thick, multi-layered PVC Tarpaulin.
All products are covered by the Advanced Elements 12 month’s warranty.
Lightweight and Quick Set-up
Many people contact me looking for a lightweight kayak, it just makes the process of going kayaking so much more appealing if you don’t have to lift a really heavy boat.
It’s appealing for people that want to go kayaking alone – if the kayak is lightweight and easy to set up, you’re more likely to enjoy the peace and quiet of solo kayaking.
And then of course, there are those customers who need a portable kayak for travel and have a weight constraint.
With the Light and Easy Kayak Package, the kayak is under 12kg, which is manageable for most people.
Bear in mind that you don’t want your inflatable kayak to be too light, because you need a bit of weight for durability and performance.
The set-up time is 4 minutes from in-the-bag to on-the-water.
And if you’re someone who struggles with instructions, it’s REALLY simple!
