Tough, Easy to Setup & Great for Beginners

Advanced Elements kayaks are serious kayaks and not pool toys! The AdvancedFrame Sport 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.

Fast and Easy to Setup

The AdvancedFrame Sport is simple to setup and you can expect to setup the Sport in around 4 minutes, and of course 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 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. Many ask about the differences between the AdvancedFrame Sport and the Sport Elite. When it comes to performance, the Sport Elite is a few notches higher on the curve due to the addition of a drop stitch floor, but for many, the AdvancedFrame Sport and its soft floor are just the ticket they are chasing for a kayak that is an amazingly comfortable recreational paddle with decent tracking and performance in 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 11.8 kgs, the Sport is lighter than the Sport Elite. A great choice for those where weight is important and storage is limited. The carry bag comes with carry handles for easy transport to and from your chosen launch site. It 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 is a comfortable kayak you can paddle for hours. While it doesn't share the deluxe seating seen in the Sport Elite, the seating that comes with the sport, combined with the soft floor, provides an incredibly comfy seating position that will keep you comfortable in the water for hours. 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 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. 

    The difference between the AdvancedFrame Sport and the Sport Elite

    While the AdvancedFrame Sport and Sport Elite kayaks look identical there are some major differences. Firstly, the AdvancedFrame Sport is a little bit cheaper. The Sport focuses on basic features and is suitable for calmer paddles like lakes, bays and waterways. The Sport Elite, while slightly higher in price, boasts several key upgrades in comfort and performance. It features a foot brace for lower back support, includes Advanced Element's amazing inflatable lumbar seat for extra comfort, and a drop stitch floor for drastically increased rigidity and performance. 

    The rigid, high-pressure floor found in the Sport Elite (similar to those in stand-up paddleboards) offers superior stability and buoyancy compared to the AdvancedFrame Sport's soft floor. Whether you're a heavier paddler (over 80-90 kg) or frequently carry extra gear (or a pet!), the drop stitch floor ensures a smooth, high-performance experience.
