Advanced Elements Advancedframe Expedition Elite

The AdvancedFrame® Expedition Elite is the natural evolution of inflatable kayaks. A hybrid of a folding frame kayak and an inflatable kayak, the Expedition incorporates Advanced Elements proven aluminum 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. Working together to deliver optimal paddling performance, the aluminum ribs form a shape that cuts through the water while the Drop-stitch floor provides unparalleled rigidity in an inflatable and creates hull chine. At 13’ long, with plenty of storage space, the Expedition Elite is the perfect kayak for any adventure!
 
Features Drop-stitch Technology
As shown in Advanced Elements inflatable standup paddle boards, drop-stitch technology allows Advanced Elements 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.

Good Stability: Low center of gravity design provides good stability and easy paddling.
Multiple Chambers: 9 Chambers provide additional buoyancy and unique kayak shape.
Easy To Set Up: Twistlok™ valves and high flow Spring™ valves allow for quick setup time.
Comfortable: Raised deck and adjustable lumbar seat provides comfort for hours of paddling.
Hull Design: Built-in aluminum rib-frame technology in the bow and stern, and Drop-stitch technology in the floor, improves tracking, rigidity, and hull speed.
