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.

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.Â
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
The decks allow you to ‘convert’ the Convertible from a tandem to a solo kayak when your paddling partner is out of action. The inflatable coaming on the decks allow you to attack the Touring Spray Skirt for protection from cold weather and/or cold water.

Kayak Cart
Simply place the bow of your inflated kayak on the cart and then pick up the stern to wheel it down to the water. This is a back-saver when you are going solo!
Keys, phone, towel, spare clothes, snacks, camera, swimmers, whatever you think you might need, it’s always a good idea to put it into a dry bag and secure it to the kayak.
The most fun you can have while sitting and paddling
We've had the Kayak about a month now and have been out paddling on the Brisbane River at every opportunity. The Kayak takes about 10 minutes to set up and we're near a boat pontoon so are in the water in under 20 minutes. We've managed some reasonably long kayaks so far, the longest being around 15km. The kayak handles well and is much less effort than we were expecting. Emily is great to deal with and we got everything we needed when we needed it. I couldn't recommend more highly!
Emily was extremely helpful making sure I got the right kayak for my husband's 50th birthday gift. He was very surprised and delighted to unwrap it and it hasn't been packed away since. It really is easy to inflate and deflate. It feels very stable on the water (or I wouldn't go in it with him). The kids are having a great time going out with hubby too and there's no problem having two big blokes in it paddling along. It carries up to 240kg. It has opened up a whole new world to us: we can get onto the nearby Yarra River, get down to Port Phillip Bay and we are looking forward to taking the kayak further afield once we are finally out of lockdown. Thank you Emily for excellent service and an excellent product!
