About Advanced Elements
Nearly 10 years ago Advanced Elements was started by two inventors with the desire to bring to market a new type of inflatable kayak: a "hybrid" of inflatable and rigid components that performs like a rigid kayak, but is portable, lightweight, and affordable.
Today the company offers more than 70 different products to customers worldwide. It continues to push the innovation and evolution of the inflatable kayak with new patented designs that use unique combinations of materials and components.
The people at Advanced Elements believe that their boats are the very best combination of quality, performance, and price in the world. They feel that it is extremely important to make sure that customers are having the best experience possible. One of the ways they do this is by a passionate focus on customer support. It is the feedback from customers that has allowed the company to excel and continue to grow over the years.
The Advanced Elements distribution center and offices are located in Benicia, California, just east of San Francisco. This is also where you will find the company's excellent customer service team that is ready to answer any questions you might have.

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Advanced Elements BackBone (Sports)
This is from my Advance Elements AdvanceFrame review:
"We bought two of these wonderful kayaks. We were debating whether to go for hard shells vs. inflatables since we live in Arizona where there is not much water to paddle. We tried the Expedition version at a local shop demo and felt it was quite good considering that it did not require us to purchase special roof racks and park one car outside of the garage. When we ordered these, we also got the backbones as we felt that when we were demoing the Expedition, it flexed significantly when going through waves. Man we made the right decision paying more for the backbones. Now we can say that we have hit the sweet spot. Not only do i enjoy the storage advantage, with the backbones, we can paddle these almost as fast as a good hard shell kayak with no detectable flexing of the boats. Highly recommended for people who want to get inflatable kayaks." The bottom line is, get it if you are seriously about kayaking.

Must have!,
By Fairnuff (Maine) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Advanced Elements BackBone (Sports)
Don't buy an advanced frame element kayak without getting one of these. I tried my kayak with and without and the difference was huge. Unlike one reviewer, I didn't find putting the thing in to be a big deal. It should be included with the kayak to begin with because the increase in speed and handling is significant.
