Advanced Elements kayaks are serious kayaks and not pool toys! The AdvancedFrame Sport Elite is rigid and robust, crafted from high-quality materials and designed to withstand the rigors of outdoor adventures. The kayak is constructed from materials that are scratch and puncture resistant with reinforced seams, so you can navigate various water conditions with confidence.
The Sport Elite is easy to setup and setup time is under 6 minutes, and this time will get faster the more you do it. All up there are 2 main chambers to inflate in the Sport Elite and a few smaller chambers. Correct pressures are obtained using the double action hand pump provided.
Exceptional Performance & Stability
At the heart of the AdvancedFrame Sport Elite is its innovative, and patented, aluminium rib frame design. The aluminium ribs are installed behind the hull as part of the kayak and create a chisel on the bow and stern allowing water to peel away when paddling. In addition to the ribs, the Sport Elite has a rigid drop stitch floor which uses the same technology as stand-up paddle boards. When inflated, the floor and rib frames provide a rigid kayak that boasts exceptional stability, tracking and overall performance when tackling windy and choppy conditions. A great choice for beginners and experienced paddlers alike.
Larger cockpit for easy entry
The Sport has a cockpit that is considerably larger than other sit-ins in the Advanced Elements range. Perfect for those that want the performance that comes with a sit-in but are concerned about how easy their entry and exit is going to be. Of course the larger cockpit also means that the sport is incompatible with a spray-skirt to keep you warm and dry on your trips, which may or may not be something that you require in your chosen kayak. If you are looking for a kayak that allows a spray skirt you can check out the soft floor Advanced Frame or its big sister, the Advanced Frame Elite with its drop stitch floor.
Ditch the roof racks! Compact, Easy to Store & Transport
With a packed size 76cm long x 43cm tall and 20cm wide, this kayak is perfect for the traveling, camping, caravan, boot or back seat. Weighing in at only 13.3 kgs, the Sport Elite is a great choice for those where weight is important and storage is limited. The carry bag comes with carry handles and backpack straps for easy transport to and from your chosen launch site. ItΒ doesn't need roof racks, it's compact when stored and small enough to fit in your car boot or your back or in your caravan ready for adventure when you are!
Comfortable Seating for Hours on The Water.
The AdvancedFrame Sport Elite is a kayak you can paddle for hours thanks to is patented Advanced Elements deluxe seating. It contains an inflatable lumbar support chamber that you can adjust while you are on the water via a mouth piece to giving you the ability to adjust your comfort and support while on the water to find the right fit. The seat has adjustable straps and a thick breathable padded base, not like the ones you see at major outdoor chains. The seat is easy to install, easy to remove, can be washed if need be and is stored inside the bag alongside the kayak.
Are inflatable Kayaks reliable? 3 Year Warranty!
We get this question a lot and the answer is a resounding YES! Advanced Elements has been making inflatable kayaks for over 20 years and continue to be an international market leader in the space. In fact they stand by their products and have raised their manufacturer warranty to 3 years.
You don't need to be concerned about sticks, fishing hooks, fish spikes or dog claws. The AdvancedFrame Sport Elite is covered in a number of layers, all of them puncture-resistant! Firstly, the air chambers are encased and protected inside a tightly woven heavy-duty canvas. Outside of that, the bright orange skin of the kayak is crafted from a water-proof rip-stop fabric that won't, rip or fray. The hull of the kayak is crafted from multiple layers of sandwiched PVC to create an incredibly robust and durable outer cover.Β
