Fantastic for Beginners. Ready for Experienced Paddlers!

The AdvancedFrame Elite is a rigid and robust kayak built and rated for open ocean adventures. Designed to withstand the rigors of outdoor adventures. The AdvancedFrame Elite is constructed from multiple layers of scratch and puncture resistant materials with reinforced seams, so you can navigate everything from open ocean to class 2 white water with confidence.

From Bag To Water in Around 6 Mins!

Setup is a breeze with the AdvancedFrame Elite and you can expect a setup time of around 6 minutes which is slightly higher than its sister kayak, the AdvancedFrame Sport Elite courtesy of an extra internal chamber. The extra chamber is an added safety feature from the kayak designers at Advanced Elements which gives the AdvancedFrame Elite a higher weight capacity of 136kgs and an open water rating. Like all inflatables, setup time will reduce with each setup you do and you can expect to be under a 6 minute setup in no time. 

Exceptional Performance & Stability

The AdvancedFrame Elite is part of the AdvancedFrame family meaning that it has a patented aluminium rib frame design. The aluminium ribs are installed behind the hull in the front and the rear as part of the kayak. They create a "chisel" on the bow and stern allowing water to peel away, and the kayak to cut through water when paddling.

In addition to the ribs, the AdvancedFrame 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, straight tracking and a performance similar to that of a hard shell even when tackling windy and choppy conditions. A great choice for beginners and experienced paddlers alike.

Open The Cockpit with A Zip-Down Deck for Kids & Furry Friends

The AdvancedFrame Elite has a zip that runs down the length of the deck which allows you to effectively have the option of a sit-in or a sit-on kayak. If you are worried about entering the kayak via the cockpit you can simply zip down the deck for a worry free entry and then zip it up again when you are ready to paddle. This feature is also fantastic for bringing along a child or a four legged companion, giving them space up the front of the kayak and keeping them clear from your paddle stroke. 

Portable, Compact & Easy to Move

With a packed size 76cm long x 43cm tall and 25cm wide. The AdvancedFrame Elite is perfect for RV traveling, camping, caravan, boot or back seat. Weighing only 16.3 kgs, it's a great choice for those where light weight is important and storage is limited. All in all, the kayak is around the size of a medium sized suitcase and the carry bag comes with both carry handles and backpack straps for easy transport to and from your chosen launch site.

Carry More - Stay out For Longer!

Overnight camping and long day trips are all within reach with the AdvancedFrame Elite thanks to the 136kg weight capacity and generous on-board storage. There is a large deck space at the front with bungee cord and clips as well as 4 d-rings on the rear deck to secure items like drybags and backpacks. It's worth noting that the Advanced Elements Deep Six Drybag Backpack is designed to fit the rear of this kayak too. The AdvancedFrame Elite Kayak allows you to pack everything you need for extended trips so you can spend more time on the water. Whether you're embarking on a multi-day expedition or a leisurely day trip, this kayak has got you covered.

Comfortable Seating for Hours on The Water

The AdvancedFrame Elite is a kayak you can paddle for hours thanks to is patented Advanced Elements deluxe seating. It contains an inflatable lumbar chamber that you can adjust while you are on the water via a mouth piece, giving you the ability to adjust your comfort and find the right fit for you while out on the water. The seat has adjustable straps and a thick breathable padded base, not like the ones you see at major outdoor chains. It is easy to install, easy to remove and is compact enough to be stored inside the bag alongside the kayak.

Spray Skirt Ready! Keep Warm & Extend Your Paddling Season

The AdvancedFrame Elite has an inflatable coaming that goes around the cockpit allowing you to attach a spray skirt, a great addition if you are paddling in windy or choppy conditions. Many customers will use a spray skirt to keep them warm and dry in colder conditions allowing them to get the most use out of their kayak by paddling in the colder months of the year.

The Long-Awaited Sequel To The AdvancedFrame

The AdvancedFrame Elite is the long-awaited sequel to the incredibly popular AdvancedFrame Inflatable Kayak. The original AdvancedFrame design contained a soft floor while its new Elite version has been upgraded to a rigid drop stitch floor. The addition of the drop stitch floor means increased rigidity, better performance and higher weight capacity. Other upgrades also include an upgraded seat to the popular deluxe seat from Advanced Elements as well as the addition of backpack straps on the carry bag.
