ADVANCED ELEMENTS AdvancedFrame™ Expedition Elite Inflatable Kayak

The AdvancedFrame Expedition Elite is a remarkable evolution in the world of inflatable kayaks. Combining the best features of a folding frame kayak and an inflatable kayak, this expedition model boasts our proven aluminum rib-frame technology in the bow and stern, along with drop-stitch technology in the floor, resulting in a paddling performance that rivals that of a hard-shell kayak.

The aluminum ribs work in harmony to deliver optimal paddling performance, cutting through the water with ease, while the drop-stitch floor provides unparalleled rigidity in an inflatable kayak, creating a distinct hull chine. At 13' in length and with ample storage space, the Expedition Elite is the perfect companion for any adventure.

As seen in our inflatable stand-up paddle boards, the drop-stitch technology allows us to create high-pressure forms that are remarkably rigid. This same technology is applied to the floor of the kayak, crafting a hull with a chine that enhances both tracking and hull speed, while also adding unparalleled rigidity to the inflatable kayak.

Weighing in at just 42 lbs, the AdvancedFrame Expedition Elite features a combination of aluminum frame, rigid panels, and inflation chambers, delivering incredible tracking and maneuverability. The durable and strong outer cover is made of PVC tarpaulin material, with a polyester fabric sandwiched between layers of vinyl.

The unique design of the Expedition Elite divides the main inflation chamber into two separate air chambers that encompass the entire kayak, providing optimum safety when out on the water. The Twistlok valves and high-flow Spring valves ensure quick and easy setup, allowing you to spend more time on the water and less time assembling your gear.

Whether you're embarking on a leisurely paddle or tackling more challenging waterways, the AdvancedFrame Expedition Elite is the perfect inflatable kayak for any adventure. Its exceptional performance, durability, and safety features make it a standout choice in the world of inflatable watercraft.
