Here is what makes the AirFusion Elite one of my favourite inflatable kayaks:
Amazing Performance on the Water
- Extra long (4m) for speed – this kayak really zooms!
- Glide straight with the award winning skin-on-frame hybrid design from Advanced Elements
- Optional Skeg for enhanced tracking
- Low centre of gravity reduces the affect of wind
Allows for Proper Paddling Technique
- The narrow beam allows you to draw powerful strokes close by your hips
- The front thwart acts as a foot brace and can be moved forward or backwards so you can support yourself as you twist your torso
Great for Expeditions and Open Ocean
- On deck storage space for gear – the AirFusion Elite has a capacity of 106kg so you can load up the deck with gear if you are going for a multi-day expedition
- Stay dry with the inflatable coaming and optional skirt
- Your back is supported by the high back seat so you are comfortable all day
- Comes with a rear hatch for easy access to items you want to keep dry
Quality Design & Manufacturing
- Multi-layer material design for protection of the inner tubes – there is very little risk of puncture
- Durable triple layer PVC tarpaulin hull so you don’t have to worry about damage on rocks
- Multiple air chambers for safety – if one chamber is compromised, the others will still function
- 1 year manufacturer’s warranty from Advanced Elements
Convenient
- Extremely lightweight for a high performance kayak at only 14.5kg – this is significantly lighter than an equivalent hard shell kayak, allowing you to carry the kayak easily
- Compared to other skin-on-frame kayaks, the design uses high pressure air chambers to provide rigidity, reducing the number frame parts for dramatically faster set-up time
- Packs up into a bag about the size of a suitcase for easy storage and transport – planes, trains and automobiles, the world is your oyster!
The AirFusion Elite is not as stable as our other inflatable kayaks, but recreational paddlers with a little bit of experience will get the hang of it pretty quickly (I am a recreational kayaker and I love paddling the AirFusion Elite).
The AirFusion Elite inflatable kayak is fine for class 1 and 2 rivers, however it is designed to paddle in a straight line, and therefore not recommended for rivers above class 2. It is designed for day touring and expeditions, for flat or open (coastal) water.
