I bought my AdvancedFrame Convertible from www.airkayaks.com back in April. I live in upstate NY where the Hudson and Mohawk rivers meet. I use it in both rivers for touring, birdwatching and fishing. It has been great. I've also used it in Lake George and local lakes. I took it on vacation to Cape Cod last week and used it in the bay and ocean. I love the stability of it and, compared to the few kayaks I've used in the past, I think it tracks well and moves fairly quickly through the water.

I own a 17ft' canoe and a 14' row boat but I got tired of loading and storing them. This stores right on a shelf in my garage. I bought the convertible because my wife or son will sometimes come with me. I've loaded it with coolers, backpacks and beach chairs and paddled to beaches with my wife. I've also backpacked it about a half of mile.

I did a lot of research before buying this kayak. I liked all the options available for it and the look of it. It did not look like a pool toy. I felt the price was in my range for my first kayak. After reading the other emails I'm happy to know that the company also will stand by its product if I do have any problems. Overall I'm very pleased with the quality of the materials and workmanship and would recommend it to anyone looking for a quality inflatable.
