We bought the Advanced Elements AdvancedFrame Convertible Tandem Inflatable Kayak last fall. We love it! We actually used bungy cords to strap it to the top of our motorcycle trailer and took it with us on vacation. WOW how cool is that! We weren't sure how long it would take to pump up but we did a trial set up and we were very happy that it only took less than 10 minutes with a hand pump. It was easy to carry down to the launch from the parking lot.

The triple-layer polyester material with double PVC coating gave us a high degree of confidence as we set out on our maiden voyage on Lake Superior at Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore. The kayak was very stable and extremely comfortable. Our trip ended up going 6+ hours so we appreciated the comfort. Kurt has long legs and he had plenty of room. As I mentioned it was a long day and I am a novice so I appreciated the tandem design so I could leave all the paddling to Kurt when I got tried in the final stretch. We packed extra gear and plenty of water since the conditions on Lake Superior change quickly. There was lots of room for everything while we got loads of fantastic pictures.

We had no problems packing it all back up and putting it back on the motorcycle trailer. It dried out easily when we got back home. I am glad we made the purchase it was perfect for the way we like to travel and play!
