AirKayaks.com: Advanced Elements AdvancedFrame Inflatable Kayak

[IDontCare704]

Hi, I'm new to kayaks, and I'm thinking about buying this one, one-seat, and I will use it mostly in small lakes for now, but I think that in time, I will want to use it in small waves and in the sea, a little bit rougher waters. So I'm wondering, is this a good all-round kayak? It's the first time I'm buying a kayak.

This is a great all-around kayak and is fine in small waves and the sea.

Does the optional backbone really improve performance that much?

[airkayaks]

I use the backbone with this kayak - it is a subtle, but definite improvement, more noticeable on the longer kayaks. Basically, it give a rigid bow-to-stern line, plus a slight vee-shape to the hull, allowing it to slice throw the water a bit better. But ... if you don't use one, you will still be very happy with the kayak!

What's the weight limit?

[airkayaks]

It is 300lbs.

Dependent on the manufacturer, they are extremely reliable. My AdvancedFrame has been inflated for one year, now, as I keep it in a building near the water. Occasionally I add a couple pumps to top it off.

how reliable are inflatable kayaks? HOw long before they start losing air pressure. DO they end up a pain in the butt like most inflatable products

I am from the U.K. I have the Airframe 2 seater version which I imported from Air Kayaks 3 years ago and it is a superb kayak.

Comfortable and incredably strong. Go on their web site, (Great people and very helpful€) read the testimonials and look at the photos of this great boat.

I can.t praise it enough. Look no further...BUY ONE!!!
