Description

The AdvancedFrame Expedition Elite is the natural Evolution of inflatable kayaks. A hybrid of a folding frame kayak and an inflatable kayak, the expedition incorporates our proven aluminum rib-frame technology in the bow and stern, and drop-stitch technology in the floor, to provide paddling performance that rivals that of a hard-shell kayak. Working together to deliver optimal paddling performance, the aluminum ribs form a shape that cuts through the water while the drop-stitch floor provides unparalleled rigidity in an inflatable and creates hull chine. At 13' long, with plenty of storage space, the expedition Elite is the perfect kayak for any adventure! as shown in our inflatable stand up paddle boards, drop-stitch technology allows us to create high pressure forms that are extremely rigid. The drop-stitch floor in this kayak creates a hull with chine, which enhances the tracking and hull speed, and adds unparalleled rigidity in an inflatable kayak. The kayak weighs 42lbs total.

    • Great small house storage, inside car transit kayak
Style: Kayak Only
Paddler profile: intermediate/advanced hardshell paddler with Gulf Coast/ Everglades/10,000 Islands/Keys open water experience in a Norse Sleipner and a Valley Sirona. For this new boat, follow the instructions. Oh, did you forget? Welp, they put em on a tag at the end lift handle. Don't want to spend a ton of time pumping? Let's call it 70ish double pump strokes total across all chambers. Can't handle that? Then buck up or skip it. Seriously. And buy your own pump cause nope, they don't include one. Reviews mentioning this are...looks around and whispers...betas. An inflatable boat is, well, inflatable. You would miss a stable dropstitch floor that is an add-on in lower models, great cockpit room, and durability to drag this to Hades and back while avoiding any damage. As in, not a scratch. Did I mention it fits in a 36x15x15ish bag? Sure, this is just eyeballing but can you pull up to a paddle drop in a 911 and whip out an Open ocean paddler, lol? Well, neither can I, so join the crowd. Small SUV? Yep. Honda CVCC...ok, Civic? Yep. It fits in the trunk and maybe a frunk or two. Go with a wider paddle than a hard shell by 10-20 cm to get the reach over a wide beam. The spray skirt is passable but not your waterproof icon as in a whitewater 'yak. It tracks well and decently straight. Not roll tested, but really? Be my guest and enjoy the water exit. Not gonna go there. It is a fun boat, not an Ferrari. Enjoy this for every convenience and capability it brings. My favorite casual paddler overkill and capable of being more if you aren't into exotic hardshells or are looking for rugged simplicity in a compact package. You could do so much with this yak and yet you can be a beginner with desire to improve via this platform. Fantastic package, hard to ignore unless you think drop stitch in every surface uber alles is the way to go. You'll never match the purpose built hardshell ocean yaks but you'll have fun with the platform no matter your experience level. Git sum. ... show more

We own a 5th wheel camper and we love to explore. We looked at options for hauling our Perception recreation kayaks and just weren't thrilled. We found these and were hooked. Ordered and received in March - definitely not kayak season in the Midwest. Took them out for the first time finally in mid-May. They stored under the bed in our 5th wheel with room to spare. Inflation was easy even without the instructions or access to the internet. Easy enough for the two of us in our upper 50s to handle for transport from inflation area to the water. They paddle like a dream! We took them over fallen trees, through lilypads and other obstacles and not a mark on them. Very stable side to side and easy to steer. When we were done, deflation was easy, they dried quickly in the sun, and are packed away for our next adventure. The seat and flat bottom did wear on our tushes. We helped that by rolling a towel and placing under the front edge of the seat for support. We will likely add some sort of minor cushion for longer paddles. I'm 5'7" and it fit me just right. Husband is 6'1" and his size 11 feet were cramped with shoes, but barefoot worked fine. Toe room is limited. The cockpit is smaller than our Perceptions, but a little adjustment on how I entered it and all was well. Definitely recommend!! ... show more

    • Advanced Element has poor customer service
Style: Kayak Only
I bought 2 of these kayaks last year. On the maiden voyage one of the thwarts deflated. When taking boat apart I observed all the stitching on the thwart case shredded. Since kayaks were new I contacted AE and asked for a replacement. They said it was my fault and I could purchase new thwart. I owned 2 AE 10 foot kayaks for 10 years and know how to properly inflate a kayak. Quality is not as good as with my old AEs. Customer service is bad. When spending this amount of money I expect warranty to be honored. I will not be buying AE when there are other brands that stand by their warranty. ... show more

    • Had it for 3 months, then air intake valve broke
Style: Kayak Only
The air intake valve for the 1 and 2 slots on the kayak have a small piece of plastic that holds the spring seal in place to keep the air in/out depending on what you're doing. This plastic is surprisingly thin (you don't notice how thin until it breaks). I don't think that for how expensive the kayak is the air valve should be so poorly designed that it can break so easily. I've used it about 15 times since I bought it in March and it broke the air valve broke July 1st. Will not be rebuying another AE kayak. ... show more
