Advanced Elements Inflatable Kayaks New for 2010
February 21, 2010 by IK World
It is always exciting to see who comes out with new inflatable kayak models for the New Year. This year it seems that Advanced Elements has topped the list with two brand new models to add to their popular fleet of inflatable kayaks.
These two models are quite different from each other but each has their place within the inflatable kayak world and will likely be very appealing to many people.
Below are the two new additions to the Advanced Elements kayaks. Please click on the kayak name to read the full detailed review of each individual kayak.
- Advanced Elements Advanced Frame Sport Inflatable Kayak
The new Advanced Elements Sport has been added to the Advanced Frame family. It is smaller than the original solo Advanced Frame and simplified in design.
The Sport is designed for one person and paddles best on flat water. It is a great looking kayak; I personally love the designs on the material but looks aren’t everything and it is really quite simple in performance.
I believe the Advanced Frame Sport will really appeal to those looking for an affordable, decent quality inflatable kayak that is stable, roomy, comfortable and very easy to travel with. - Advanced Elements AirFusion Inflatable Kayak
The AirFusion is a hybrid inflatable kayak meaning that it encompasses aluminum poles to create a rigid frame as well as inflatable tubes for the kayak. The fact that the AirFusion comes with the rigid aluminum pole frame makes this kayak rigid and great to paddle. It has a sleek design and was built to reach fairly good speeds.
The unfortunate part is of course that having to construct the frame will take up more time than simply inflating a normal inflatable kayak. Advanced Elements states it should take about fifteen minutes but I would count on a lot more than that on your first try.
The AirFusion is a very nice looking solo inflatable kayak and is built to paddle best on flat water in either lakes, bays, estuaries or calm rivers.
It is always nice to see new inflatable kayaks being added to the already great selection of inflatable kayaks on the market. More choice equals more options for all of us.
We would love to hear your first impressions on these two new inflatable kayaks. As for myself, they don’t make my wish list, but I am looking forward to hearing from those who will be among the first to purchase.
