Advanced Elements - AdvancedFrame Sport Inflatable Kayak - Lightweight Day Touring Kayak with Bag and Pump

Efficient in calm and moving water. Stable. Gotta fill multiple bladders. Not intuitive. Takes 3-4 set ups to get proficient. But then all good and a good value.

10 min set up, 5 min down, I was set up and ready before my friend had his hard shell off his roof rack! One star ding though not for the kayak but the included pump- gauge doesn’t work, as other reviewers have noted. So I inflate by feel. And the pump needs to have flexible attachments for the pump nozzles, since there are two different one needed to inflate ( the pump comes with 4 nozzles total- 2 you don’t need) but back to the kayak- performed very well on the water; because it’s inflatable I noticed it’s a bit slower, and it doesn’t track quite as straight, but those little minor things are balanced by how comfortable this kayak is to sit in! The included seat allows me to lean back comfortably while paddling, the inflatable floor is rigid enough I never felt like I was sitting in a depression, but it’s like paddling a comfy air mattress! Of course I couldn’t fold it in a way that it fit perfectly back into the carrying case, it fits, but I can’t zip it closed, and forget getting the air pump in there. But who cares- I can still carry it fairly easily. Can’t speak to durability as I’ve had it out just once but the bottom didn’t appear scratched after dragging a bit across the rough boat ramp,as I was getting into water. All in all I’m very pleased! Great kayak at a great price! I’m happy!

Easy to paddle. The pump worked fine and the deflation aspect was great. Easy to transport but I would not want to carry it far. Great for all ages.

I love these kayaks. They are easy to set up and work great for my use, which is typically on a creek.

Haven't used Kayak yet. It seems like it will be good. However, the Air Pump Gauge DOES NOT Work. I exchanged the First Air Pump. They could not send me just another pump. They had to send me the entire kayak. And Neither Gauge on Either Pump registers how much air you have pumped. You can pump air in but you have no idea if you if you have too much air or too little air.

Love our inflatable kayak! Loved it so much, we bought 2! It's sturdy, dependable, no leaks, and easy to inflate and deflate. Each kayak comes with a bag to make the haul easier. It's probably about 40 bulky pounds but manageable for my 5'2 120lbs self- I just wear the bag the kayak is in like a backpack, its definitely doable. My husband takes about 20 mins to set up both kayaks and breaking it down takes about the same time.. We use the paddles it came with and it does just fine in Rivers and Lakes. Haven't taken them out into the ocean, but that's not what we bought them for so this review isn't about that. You'll love it!

Loved this kayak- easy to transport and handled well on the pond, felt very sturdy and comfortable. A little confusing to set up, esp figuring out the different valves.

This listing says that it has 7 chambers, but it only has 4. I have only taken it out once so far on a small lake and worked fine. It doesn't track real straight, but that could be due to the short skeg/rudder.

Very disappointed, I can’t even give it one star (but had to in order to write the review) The seat is a joke, very flimsy and offers no back support whatsoever. The floor has a release valve which releases air even before the recommended psi is reached. The air it does hold deflates immediately after sitting down. The smaller side tubes also deflate immediately after getting in. At first I thought it was just that I was unfamiliar with the use of the valves but I researched them and watched videos and understand how they (are supposed to) work. I thought this was an upgrade from the intex challenger but honestly, the challenger is superior. I will be returning it.
