Advanced Elements AdvancedFrame Convertible Kayak

The AdvancedFrame Convertible is a fifteen foot kayak that can be paddled solo or tandem. With an open deck design, you can easily enter and exit the boat or utilize the optional single or double decks to convert your AdvancedFrame Convertible from an open deck to a closed deck kayak in a matter of seconds. The design of this kayak combines our rigid bow and stern rib-frame design with the versatility of tandem or solo seating positions and interchangeable decks.

AdvancedFrame Convertible Conversion Decks

Double Deck Conversion - AE2022-R

Attach the optional Double Deck to make your AdvancedFrame Convertible a closed deck tandem kayak in a matter of seconds! The Double Deck has d-rings and a mesh pocket for enhanced gear stowage.

Single Deck Conversion - AE2021-R

Attach the optional Single Deck Conversion to make your AdvancedFrame Convertible a closed deck solo kayak in a matter of seconds! The Single Deck sports a series of d-rings with bungee deck lacing, arched deck riser aluminum stays, and a rear cargo hatch.

Standard Open Deck

BackBone and Drop-stitch floor Compatible

More Options for more performance.

While each of our kayaks are designed for the best in performance, we’ve found that there are those who seek even higher performance. For paddlers looking to up the ante in the AdvancedFrame line, we offer our patented BackBone accessory or rigid high-pressure floors that utilize Drop-stitch technology. While each accessory offers their own advantages, both work to further enhance the rigidity and tracking performance of each AdvancedFrame kayak.

Almost returned it!

Almost returned it!
If it was not for the great customer service provided by Matt at Advanced Elements I would have returned this. Here's the story. There are MANY warnings about "do not over inflate" and only fill to 2PSI So, because there is no gauge built into the boat nor did either of my pumps have one, I had to guess at what 2PSI should be and I filled it to where I was comfortable and took it for a test drive and it was awful. At 210lbs solo, it was bowing badly in the middle and did not maneuver well at all. Also, with two people carrying it, it would bend in the middle so I was beginning to think that I was going to have to spend another $200+ for the rigid floor (which I still believe should be included). I was ready to box it up and send it back but figured I would wait to see if A.E. would reply to my email and they did quite promptly!Because the spring valves were new to me I was inflating improperly and after some experimenting and Matt's help, I discovered that I could fill the spring valves in the inflate position but I found it was much easier and faster to leave in the deflate position, fill, pull the hose and quickly turn the valve back to inflate, reconnect the hose and top it off with air.Also, this tip from Matt was perfect and saved the day ... " If you are inflating it using a pump without a gauge you can test it to see if you have the correct pressure by picking the kayak up by the carrying handle at one end and giving it a good up and down shake. If there is any bending occurring in the middle, go ahead and give the main chambers a few more pumps"After doing this, we could carry it without it bending in the middle. It also maneuvers much better and I think we are happy with it .... will update after we do some more kayaking here in Florida, we just arrived and have not had a chance to test further but I'm confident we will like it.We bought this instead of trying to take our two rigid yaks down in the Motor Home or using all the space in the back of the tow vehicle. The bag fits nicely in the back seat of the Pick up truck or just about anywhere you want to store it. We paid close attention on how to fold it and had no troubles getting it back in the bag!UPDATE 12/23/19: Did some kayaking with the alligators in Florida .... love it, proper inflating was key!

Very Happy.

Overall we both love it.

Really great quality.
Extremely stable.

We tried the backbone and don't feel it's necessary, plus it adds about 10 minutes to set up.

Get long paddles. I'm 5'11 and a 240mm is good. wife is 5'6 and uses a 230mm up front.

the zip on cover is high quality, fits great and it's fairly easy to put on. Probably best for colder weather although it does give the rear paddler a nice deck.
on that subject..
You need something like a 15x15 elastic net over the thwart in the rear (see pic, it's half filled) because there's no place to put a bag that's easy to get in, except between your legs, or a good place to stash a water bottle.

Get the advance elements hand pump for sure and a cordless electric one if you can, the air chambers are pretty big.

We just fold it up after we use it and set it on top of the bag to get it home, then pump it partly up to wash off and let dry, then fold it and bag it for the next trip.

Even tho it's lightweight, wheels are helpful and there's a good place on the rear deck to show it.

Definitely no regerts with this purchase.
