Do you feel the need? The need for SPEED? You could be zooming along with the ultra-fast, but conveniently compact Speed Demon kayak package. The basis of this package is the unique AirFusion EVO inflatable kayak plus the AirFusion Skeg, so you get the best possible performance on the water. See below for why the AirFusion EVO is awesome for speed-demon kayakers.
Who is the Speed Demon Kayak Package for?
Paddlers who need (or want) a lightweight kayak and
- Want to go fast and paddle like the wind
- Want a recreational paddle and cover long distances
- Want to keep up with fellow paddlers
- Want to get some exercise
Here’s why this kayak is awesome for speed-demon kayakers
Nice and Long

Stretches out at 4m, which gives you good momentum. You can glide along in the water for quite a while after you stop paddling.
Narrow Beam

The AirFusion EVO Kayak from Advanced Elements is a fast kayak; you can draw your paddle very close to your body, giving you a good workout and plenty of speed from powerful strokes.
Straight Tracking

The award winning skin-on-frame design has a hull that tracks exceptionally well, so you can focus on speed rather than correction.
Low Centre of Gravity

The low centre of gravity means you are not so wind affected.
Lightweight

FAQs
Performance
Only a little.
All kayaks are wind affected to some degree.
You can generally predict how wind affected it’s going to be based on the ratio of kayak above the waterline to kayak below the waterline.
The AirFusion EVO is a sit-in kayak, and it sits quite low in the water, especially compare to other inflatables, so it performs quite well in wind.
Comfort
The seat (included) has a stiff, high back, which gives you excellent support, IF you get the angle right.
The seat includes an inflatable bum cushion, which gives you some nice lift off the floor of the kayak. I’ve found this lift takes the pressure off the hamstrings and lower back.
The front thwart acts as a foot brace, which adds to your comfort by supporting your lower back as you paddle.
The front thwart in the AirFusion EVO acts as a foot brace.
A lot of paddlers swear by foot braces for encouraging good paddling technique and for supporting the lower back.
The AirFusion EVO kayak has very good back support – the seat back is high and stiff with adjustable straps to get the angle right. It also includes an inflatable bum pad for comfort and lift.
What is the AirFusion EVO Kayak good for?
I would not recommend it.
The AirFusion EVO kayak is quite narrow, which means it is not really stable enough for an unpredictable element, like a dog.
I would not recommend it.
The AirFusion EVO kayak is quite narrow, which means it is not really stable enough for kayak fishing, where you may need to move suddenly.
I would not recommend it.
The AirFusion EVO kayak is quite narrow, which means it is not really stable enough for an unpredictable element, like a child.
I tried to take my daughter out in it once and we got about 20 metres out when she leaned over the side to look at something and I realised we needed to go straight back to shore!
We have customers that use it as a tender, but you need to understand that it’s not our most stable kayak and it has a cockpit that you need to get yourself in and out of… so in terms of entry and exit from a boat, it’s not the easiest choice we offer.
It’s fast and comfortable enough for anything from 1 hour to a multi-day trip.
For multi-day expeditions, you don’t have as much deck space for storage of gear, compared to the AdvancedFrame Expedition Elite, which has a higher capacity and more storage space.
But it’s still totally possible.
Yes.
The AirFusion EVO kayak has inflatable coaming around the cockpit, so you can put on a spray skirt to stay warm and dry in cold conditions.
No.
The AirFusion EVO kayak is fine for class 1 and 2 whitewater, however it is really designed to paddle in a straight line, and therefore not recommended for rivers above class 2.
Who is the AirFusion EVO Kayak good for?
It’s not my first choice for a beginner, because it’s not super stable and not as easy to paddle straight without the skeg.
If a beginner was interested in the AirFusion EVO kayak, I would recommend buying the skeg, and either Youtubing kayaking technique or getting some actual kayak lessons. It won’t take long to master it and it’s a wonderful kayak – well worth it!
In my experience, seniors are looking for a lightweight kayak, and at 14.5kg, the AirFusion EVO kayak is reasonably lightweight.
The other key features for seniors are stability and ease of getting in and out – the AirFusion EVO does NOT satisfy these criteria so well.
It’s a long, narrow kayak, which means it’s awesome to paddle, but less stable on the water, especially when getting in and out.
It has a fixed cockpit as well, so you need some flexibility to tuck your legs in.
The seniors I have sold it to in the past were experienced kayakers and could manage this, no problem.
So it’s really up to you! If you are not very tall, the cockpit probably won’t be an issue. If you give yourself some time and maybe lessons, the stability will come.
It’s possible, but I would suggest going for a more stable kayak for your child.
It’s not our easiest kayak for getting in and out of, but I don’t think I would say it was difficult.
It’s less stable than our others, so you have to be a bit more careful, and it has a fixed cockpit, so if you have very long legs, it might be a struggle to tuck them in there.
No.
It’s good up to about 6’2″, but beyond that, it becomes a struggle to tuck legs into the cockpit.
The maximum capacity is 106kg / 235lbs.
About the AirFusion EVO Kayak
Advanced Elements have been making inflatable kayaks for well over 20 years – you don’t have to worry about quality.
All kayaks are inflated at the factory and left for 24 hours to ensure there are no slow leaks.
The main hull material used is called PU tarpaulin and it is super thick and tough.
The sides are high quality drop-stitch, also extremely tough:
In the extremely rare case that you damage the hull, the kayak comes with a repair kit, so you can put on a patch.
The AirFusion EVO is a sit-in kayak.
The cockpit has inflatable coaming so you can put on a spray skirt.
The AirFusion EVO kayak is not super stable but it’s not super tippy either. It’s somewhere in the middle.
It is not stable enough for dogs, fishing or kids.
It does not have a fin included, but you can (and should) buy the AirFusion Skeg which will enhance the tracking.
The Rudder Kit we sell is NOT compatible with the AirFusion EVO kayak.
Yes, the ePropulsion Vaquita can be used with the ratchet straps (included with the propeller).
Yes, the Touring Spray Skirt can be fitted over the inflatable coaming to keep you warm and dry.
• Bungee deck lacing
• Hybrid Aluminum Frame and High Pressure Drop-Stitch Air Chamber Design
• Inflatable Coaming for spray skirt attachment
• D-ring gear tie downs
• Roll-top rear storage access hatch
• Rubber molded handles
• Optional fixed skeg
The AirFusion EVO Kayak is manufacted by Advanced Elements (an American company), in their factory in Indonesia.
All kayaks are inflated and left overnight on the factory floor to ensure they are fully functional before shipping out.

The AirFusion EVO Kayak is a custom model, manufactured only for Oz Inflatable Kayaks in Australia.
How to use the AirFusion EVO Kayak
You can review the instruction manual here:
AirFusion EVO Kayak Instruction Manual
But my strong recommendation is that you take a look at the setup video:
I’ve done it in 13 minutes, but realistically, you should allow 20 minutes.
You just take off the valve covers and set the valves to deflate.
You can use the deflate function of the pump if you want to, but I have never found this to be necessary.
Once deflated, you might need to prop the ends up on something to slide the connecting pole off, so you can disassemble the pole structure (this will make more sense when you do it).
The outside of the kayak is PU tarpaulin, so you can just wipe it down with a towel.
On the inside, the seat and the thwarts have fabric, so you want to keep the inside dry if possible.
The best thing for this is to put an old towel inside the kayak when you go paddling. This prevents you bringing in a lot of water with your feet, and absorbs any drips.
The kayak comes with folding instructions and yes, it DOES go back in the bag!
