Paddle solo or tandem? The choice is yours in the fully upgraded StraitEdge2 PRO from Advanced Elements. Now with the ever-popular drop-stitch technology, the StraitEdge2 PRO from Advanced Elements combines aluminium rib-frame technology in the bow with rigid drop-stitch technology in the floor, to provide exceptional paddling performance.
The space-saving tandem ready for anything
Perfect for the caravan, boot or rooftop this amazing space saving inflatable kayak is suited to the casual angler that is looking for a kayak that doubles as a comfortable recreational paddle. The StraitEdge 2 Pro comes with 2 rod holders that are built into the seat meaning you can be ready to take your rods whether you are paddling solo or tandem.
Self-bailing, rough conditions and whitewater
The StraitEdge 2 Pro has a number of self-bailing ports built right into the floor. They are the same as scupper holes in the hard-shell world allowing water to freely flow in and out of the kayak to equalize. If you are in calm or cold conditions, you can keep them closed to help keep you dry and warm.
When it comes to rough conditions, the StraitEdge 2 Pro is ready for white water too. In fact, this kayak is ready to tackle anything from calm conditions up to class 3 white water thanks to its robust design. Featuring adjustable foot pegs, supportive high-back seats, rod-holders, gear tie-downs, bungee deck lacing, and three seating positions for set up in solo or tandem mode, this kayak is ready for your next adventure!
Reliability of the StraitEdge2 Pro Tandem Inflatable Kayak
By far the biggest question is "Are inflatable kayaks reliable?" and the answer is a resounding YES! Advanced Elements have been making inflatable kayaks for over 20 years and continue to be international market leaders in the space.
Unlike many other inflatable kayaks Advanced Elements kayaks are made with multiple layers of material for maximum durability. For a full range of design and safety features, check out the images on this listing.
