Join Carlos as he gives a quick overview of three key Advanced Elements Inflatable Kayaks: The Airfusion Evo, The AdvancedFrame Tandem, and The AdvancedFrame Single.


The Advanced Elements AirFusion EVO Inflatable Kayak is unlike any other inflatable kayak out there with a unique construction creating a high performance beast. It is a high-pressure hybrid kayak that takes the award-winning design of the original AirFusion to the next level - upgraded with rigid, 6-10 PSI dropstitch technology. The AirFusion EVO combines a unique fusion of aluminum alloy frame poles and high-pressure, dropstitch air tubes, resulting in a high-performance, rigid frame system which rivals the handling and speed of skin-on-frame kayaks. The outer shell is constructed from a polyurethane tarpaulin that gives it a smoother finish, increased rigidity and a more hydrodynamic outline. It also features three aluminum ribs on the floor and under the hull, providing a sculpted look as well as a v-shaped keel, which aids in slicing through the water. Another element of construction is six inflation chambers (two side chambers, booster seat, two thwarts and the coaming tube) and the dropstitch tubes are removable, allowing one to replace just a part if needed. Other features include an integrated rear storage hatch, foam floor, integrated storage hatch, bungee deck lacing, coaming tube for attaching a skirt, two landing plates, a lower seat back and the ability to use an optional tracking fin. This is an inflatable kayak elevated to another level.

The Advanced Elements AdvancedFrame is a hybrid of a folding frame kayak and an inflatable kayak. Its bow slices through water like a knife and rivals the trackability of hard-shell kayaks. The stern acts as a skeg, increasing the tracking performance. It uses extremely durable materials and high-end components. There is plenty of on-board storage room for extended trips. It sets up in just a few minutes, and is compact enough to take along on a weekend adventure.

The Advanced Elements AdvancedFrame Convertible Tandem Kayak is a fifteen foot kayak that can be paddled solo or tandem. With the optional single or double decks you can convert your AF Convertible kayak into a solo or tandem kayak in a matter of seconds. This new design incorporates the rigid bow and stern frame with the versatility of an interchangeable deck.
