More About the Advanced Elements Lagoon 2

The Advanced Elements Lagoon 2 inflatable kayak can offer a lot of fun for an affordable price. It is a great two person kayak that performs best on flatwater such as lakes, slow rivers or a calm ocean. The Lagoon is sturdy, rugged and constructed with heavy duty material that can withstand a lot of abuse.

Great features on this inflatable kayak include rubber-grip handles, bungee deck lacing to hold down gear, mesh accessory pocket, tracking skeg as well as a foam floor. The seats in the Lagoon have adjustable back support and will provide enough comfort for a fairly long trip. Set up time is quick and inflation is simple with the easy to use Spring and Twistlok valves.Advanced Elements Lagoon

If you are trying to decide between the Lagoon 2 and the Advanced Frame Convertible here is basically what you need to know…

The Lagoon is not a fast kayak. If you want the option of paddling higher speeds as well as doing longer kayak trips, the Advanced Elements Advanced Frame Convertible is a better choice… it also tracks better than the Lagoon.

Keep in mind that the Advanced Elements Lagoon 2 only holds up to 350 pounds. If you plan on paddling with two people you will want to keep this weight restriction in mind. The Convertible weighs about 20 pounds more than the Lagoon but it can also hold an extra 200 pounds. It depends on what your needs are. The Advanced Frame Convertible also costs an extra couple of hundred dollars.

Final Thoughts on the Advanced Elements Lagoon 2

It comes down to this… if you are looking for a tandem inflatable kayak that is compact, affordable, rugged and super fun to use on calm water then the Advanced Elements Lagoon 2 inflatable kayak would make a great choice.

If you are more concerned with speed, tracking and higher performance, then you may want to look at a higher end model. The Lagoon makes a great choice for traveling as it weighs only 35 pounds and is so easy and convenient to use.  Just keep in mind that the load capacity is only 350 pounds which isn’t a heck of a lot for a tandem model but still works great for paddling solo or for two lighter people.
