Advanced Elements AdvancedFrame® Convertible Elite 15′ Inflatable Kayak
The Advanced Elements AdvancedFrame® Convertible Elite is a premium 15-foot inflatable kayak engineered for both solo and tandem paddling. Combining aluminum rib-frame technology in the bow and stern with a rigid drop-stitch floor, this kayak delivers tracking, speed, and rigidity comparable to a hard-shell model. Its versatile open-deck design converts to a closed-deck kayak in seconds by zipping in the optional single or double deck conversion, while upgraded lumbar seats ensure hours of comfortable paddling.
Key Features & Benefits
- Aluminum Rib-Frame Technology: Built-in aluminum ribs at bow and stern maintain a hard-shell hull profile for superior tracking and stability in flatwater or light chop.
- Rigid Drop-Stitch Floor: Double-layer, high-pressure drop-stitch floor inflates to a firm 3.5″ thickness, providing a solid, hard-bottom kayak feel.
- Convertible Open/Closed Deck: Easy zip-in system lets you switch from an open cockpit to a closed deck by adding the optional single or double kayak deck in seconds—ideal for changing weather or whitewater conditions.
- Upgraded Lumbar Seats: Two ergonomic, adjustable folding seats with lumbar support deliver maximum comfort for long paddling sessions—use one for solo mode or both for tandem.
- Durable PVC Tarpaulin Material: Double-coated, UV-resistant PVC tarpaulin fabric with 3-layer construction provides extreme puncture and abrasion resistance.
- Inflatable Coaming & Bungee Deck Lacing: Inflatable coaming ring secures a spray skirt, while deck bungees allow you to lash down gear, dry bags, or fishing rods.
- Integrated Pressure Relief Valve: Built into the floor to prevent overinflation and maintain optimal pressure for a firm ride.
- Portable Duffle Bag: Comes with a heavy-duty duffle bag featuring removable shoulder straps for easy transport and storage when deflated.
