The Reviews

Consumer review rating for the Advanced Elements AdvancedFrame Convertible Inflatable Kayak is high. Most of those who got this particular kayak model are very happy with its usability and storability. They also said that even though the kayak is heavy, it gave them good tracking and faster speed, which is what they want, after all. Customers are also happy with the fact that this particular kayak model handled the wind, chop and tides exceedingly well. They are also very satisfied with the durability of the kayak’s materials. Customers also happily noted that the time it took them to inflate their kayak took almost the same time it took their friends to take out their hard shell kayak and accompanying gears from inside the car.

On the negative side, some of those who bought this kayak observed a couple of issues that they feel should be rightfully addressed. These issues were:

• The circumference of the tube located on the right side was significantly smaller than that on the left section.
• The kayak is too heavy.
• Difficult to launch for one person

On the whole, it is a great kayak that is suitable for the whole family. It is not too sleek for the beginner and not too wide for the seasoned kayaking enthusiast. Added to this, the ability of the kayak to accommodate two paddlers is something that would truly be an appealing prospect for a beginner. The weight of the kayak is not that much of a big deal to consumers, especially because the kayak, after all, can really give them  what they wanted in the first place, and that is, good tracking and fast speed.
