ADVANCEDFRAME
www.advancedelements.com • $499.99
The AdvancedFrame is a hybrid of a folding-frame kayak and an inflatable kayak. Utilizing built-in aluminum ribs in the bow and stern, it slices through water like a knife and rivals the tracking ability of hard-shell kayaks. The stern acts as a skeg, increasing the tracking performance. It uses extremely durable materials and features many high-end components.

The design of this kayak combines Advanced Elements' rigid bow and stern rib-frame design with the versatility of tandem or solo seating positions and interchangeable decks.

AIRONAUT
www.feathercraft.com • $2,900 CAD
Feathercraft's Aironaut is a unique design that can be fully inflated and ready to go in six minutes. Three panels, each with five integrated air channels, curve towards refined bow and stern ends, creating a far more sophisticated shape than a typical flat-floored inflatable. Panels and deck are joined using RF and hot air welding technology. No glue. The inflatable floor raises the paddler's center of gravity. The initial feel can be twitchy. Light and fast, the skeg aids tracking.
LENGTH: 14'9" • WIDTH: 26" • COCKPIT: 16" X 29.5" • CAPACITY: MAX 250 LBS • URETHANE: 20 LBS
