Single Advance Frame<br />
Advanced Elements<br />
C<strong>on</strong>vertible Advance Frame<br />
The Advanced Frame Single <strong>Kayak</strong> is a hybrid of a folding frame<br />
kayak and an inflatable kayak. Its bow slices through water like a knife<br />
and rivals <strong>the</strong> track-ability of hard-shell kayaks. The stern acts as a<br />
skeg, increasing <strong>the</strong> tracking performance. It uses multiple air chambers<br />
and is c<strong>on</strong>structed of extremely durable materials with aluminium struts<br />
and triple layer PVC tarpaulin. There is <strong>on</strong>-board storage room for<br />
extended trips. It sets up in just a few minutes with a standard double<br />
acti<strong>on</strong> pump and is compact enough to fit into a c<strong>on</strong>veniently supplied<br />
duffel bag (16kg boat and bag) to easily take al<strong>on</strong>g <strong>on</strong> a weekend<br />
adventure or overseas destinati<strong>on</strong>. Ideal for launches, yachts, motor<br />
homes, or kayakers wanting extra portability. No roof racks necessary.<br />
This model can be fitted with a spray skirt (not included).<br />
The Advanced Frame C<strong>on</strong>vertible is ideal for couples or families.<br />
It can be paddled easily by a single paddler, or by tandem paddlers<br />
and some extra children al<strong>on</strong>g for <strong>the</strong> ride. The kayak can be set up<br />
in three modes, open deck, closed single deck or closed double deck<br />
(spray skirts and deck c<strong>on</strong>versi<strong>on</strong> kits are accessories). The open deck<br />
is great as a fishing and dive kayak, due to excellent stability, flotati<strong>on</strong><br />
and low sides.<br />
It has <strong>the</strong> same c<strong>on</strong>structi<strong>on</strong> as <strong>the</strong> Single Advance frame. The<br />
C<strong>on</strong>vertible sets up in just a few minutes with a standard double<br />
acti<strong>on</strong> pump and is compact enough to fit into a c<strong>on</strong>veniently supplied<br />
duffel bag for a weekend adventure or overseas destinati<strong>on</strong>. Ideal for<br />
launches, yachts, motor homes, or kayakers wanting extra portability.<br />
No roof racks necessary.<br />
