The AdvancedFrame® Expedition Elite is the natural evolution of inflatable kayaks. A hybrid of a folding frame kayak and an inflatable kayak, the Expedition incorporates proven aluminum rib-frame technology in the bow and stern, and Drop-stitch technology in the floor, to provide paddling performance that rivals that of a hard-shell kayak. Working together to deliver optimal paddling performance, the aluminum ribs form a shape that cuts through the water while the Drop-stitch floor provides unparalleled rigidity in an inflatable and creates hull chine. At 13’ long, with plenty of storage space, the Expedition Elite is the perfect kayak for any adventure!
Features Drop-stitch Technology!
Drop-stitch technology creates high pressure forms that are extremely rigid. The drop-stitch floor in this kayak creates a hull with chine, which enhances the tracking and hull speed, and adds unparalleled rigidity in an inflatable kayak.
It's comfortable for long trips and recreational paddlers, it's easy to paddle and very stable for beginners, it goes fast and straight for those who want to put some miles on the clock, it's great in open ocean for those who want a bit of adventure.
Take the Expedition Kayak with you in your caravan, on your boat, on holiday or on your camping trip, or just leave it in the closet for when a glorious paddling day dawns.
