The Expedition Elite from Advanced Elements is an absolute game changer. This inflatable kayak is perfect for those looking for a light kayak that is easy on the back and can be handled by a solo paddler.
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. While it doesn't have a dedicated rod holder, the Railblazer RibPort Base with 3M Backing (not included) can be used to mount a fishing rod holder in an appropriate spot.
A hybrid of a folding frame kayak and an inflatable kayak, the Expedition incorporates Advanced Elements proven aluminium 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.
At 3.96m long and with plenty of storage space, the Expedition Elite is the perfect kayak for any adventure!
Are inflatable Kayaks reliable?
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 innovate in the space.
Unlike many other inflatable kayaks Advanced Elements kayaks are made with multiple layers of material for maximum durability. The drop-stitch floor technology allows you to inflate the floor to a high pressure creating a floor that is extremely rigid. It creates a hull with chine, which enhances the tracking and hull speed, and adds unparalleled rigidity in an inflatable kayak.
