Advanced Elements - AirVolution2™ Tandem Inflatable Kayak with Drop-Stitch and Carry Bag

This is a wonderful kayak! It is not an ocean boat or a rapids boat but a great compromise between the two. It does not at all feel like an inflatable, very rigid frame when inflated properly. It is a bit wide, but buy a high quality longer paddle and it is wonderful. Stored in the closet in the basement and so much better than another14’ boat in the shed! Light for its size, the pump is not great, get a HP pump and it is so easy to inflate!

Kayak is amazing, have used it a bunch of times and it’s easy to set up and put away. Downside; the pump they give you will not even inflate to 1 psi so you have to use the manual pump. Actually surprised they send such a junky electric lump with such a nice kayak. Seats are comfy and easy to put in and out which is a plus. Seats don’t fit in the storage case but that’s ok.

I purchased the Tandem… Kayak construction seams very well built, but not well designed. The leg room for back seat is only adequate for short people (like kids). At 5’10”, my knees are so high, paddling is very awkward. Also, the drop stitch sides are angled in a way they are almost as thisk as the previous pontoon style. Also, there is no optional seat position for single seat operation. It is very slow, you plow a lot of water, but does track well... for the price and being drop-stich, I thought it would had performed better than the previous generaion Also , the back-pack bag is a joke. There is no way someone is going to wear this (tandem kayak). The seats don’t fit in the bag and it’s almost like it’s all built backwards, the zipper front is on the underside with the wheels. I’m think the marketing department, not the product engineers designed the accessory.
