Product description

Take it to the next level with the all new AdvancedFrame Convertible Elite!

A fifteen foot kayak that can be paddled solo or tandem, The Convertible Elite combines our aluminum rib-frame technology in the bow and stern, and rigid Drop-stitch technology in the floor, to provide paddling performance that rivals that of a hard-shell kayak. The versatile open deck design can be converted to a closed deck kayak in a matter of seconds by simply zipping in the optional single or double deck conversions and the upgraded lumbar seats provide comfort for hours of paddling!

Features Drop-stitch Technology!
As shown in our inflatable standup paddle boards, drop-stitch technology allows us to create high pressure forms that are extremely rigid. The drop-stitch floor in this kayak creates a hull with chine, which enhances the tracking and hull speed, and adds unparalleled rigidity in an inflatable kayak.

Attach either optional Conversion Decks to make your AdvancedFrame® Convertible a closed deck solo or tandem kayak in a matter of seconds! The Single Deck sports a series of d-rings with bungee deck lacing, arched deck riser aluminum stays, and a rear cargo hatch while the Double Deck has d-rings and a mesh pocket for enhanced gear stowage.

I have used the Kayak twice and so far it's great. Easy to set up and worth paying a little bit more to get the Elite version: the hard floor, seats and packbag and worth it.

A stable canoe that works well and moves smoothly. Quick and easy to fill and empty. Good carrying handles. Drying takes up a lot of space. The carrying bag is quite big, but the portability is good for our mobile trip needs. Not dinghy at all. Good material, durable fabric. Equipment can be brought along / good load capacity. Good seats.

A really high-quality kayak. Stable and light paddle. An absolute choice for myself when there is no proper storage space for a hard kayak.

Directional stability and good paddling. It's easy to put in working condition when at the same time I got the brand's own pump. It is so heavy that you can't carry it very far.

A stable and sturdy inflatable kayak. The water that gets inside requires unloading for drying, but it is handled relatively easily. Due to its weight, it is not suitable for a hiking trip. Of course, the car is comfortable to drive. Versatile and high-quality. I can recommend!

A good kayak to paddle, even a small wave doesn't hurt. It works as a unit and as a duo, and even a dog fits on board. Assembling/filling the kayak and disassembling/folding it into the bag takes about 5-10 minutes. The carrier bag can easily be carried on the back for another couple of kilometers of walks. Dry the kayak carefully before storage.

I'm writing a review pretty soon after purchasing the kayak, so you should read it with a little caution. The rating at this stage is 9/10, which means that the kayak is really functional in my opinion. The first assembly in the home's living room took approx. 30 minutes, but the second assembly by the water took place in 10 minutes. Assembling only speeds up as experience accumulates. The bag is quite comfortable on the back even though there is no chest strap to support the carrying, but the shoulder straps are comfortable enough for at least a few hundred meters as long as the bag is well packed. Packing the bag is its own challenge, but when paddling alone, the kayak bench and pump fit OK with the kayak itself in the bag. You should pack in such a way that the center of gravity is as low as possible, this is also where the experience accumulates. The Drop Stitch base is great for bringing stability and is also more comfortable for my dog than an uneven base. The dog got in and out of the kayak on the dock easily (with treats, of course). And the most important thing: paddling was carefree, the kayak was balanced and when everything was adjusted, the ride was streamlined. What is essential here is that the bottom of the drop stitch is placed symmetrically in the middle of the kayak - on one trip this was not the case, and then the kayak pulled to the other side considerably. This could be fixed on the next trip by lowering the air in the yard, putting the bottom better and pumping the kayak full again.
