AdvancedFrame Convertible Kayak Reviews

4.8 Rating 19 Reviews
Pumped up and ready to launch on the Murray River in SA in about 30 minutes. Went out in the backwaters and thoroughly enjoyed the relaxation and ease of movement through the water. Drop stitch floor was easy to install and the Kayak cart made it a breeze to get from campsite to waters edge. Looking forward to my next outing in the months to come

Just wanted to say thank you for your excellent advice and excellent product. Just got back from a trial run with our new kayaks and we love them!! They are so comfy and easy to set up and pack up. Very glad we made the investment.

I used this kayak on the Noosa River several times during my recent stay at Noosa River Caravan Park. I used it for general kayaking upstream and downstream and also for fishing. The kayak was very stable and reasonably easy to paddle with current and against current. It retained its line well with two paddlers, although sometimes against the current it was inclined to pull to the right and more difficult to retain its line. I found it a little difficult to get the legs in and out under the front bow cover. Portability was good as I was able to store the kayak in my caravan and found it relatively easy to inflate and deflate and pack away. It took time to dry it out between the outer cover and the inner bellows left and right on return from trip, so it can be stored dry for a couple of months.

Hi Emily, Earlier this year I bought an AdvancedFrame convertible kayak from you. As planed we are now in South America in a 4x4 camper (Earth Cruiser) built in Queensland. Our Kayak has been out of its locker a few times now. I am sending some photos of two places we have used the Kayak. One place is of the floating islands in Lake Titicaca, Peru and the other is at Laguna Sura Sacaat at 4400m altitude (Our highest paddle so far.) It is in the Raura mountain range in Peru. We are enjoying the kayak and finding it very easy to paddle. Anneshka B.

Thanks Emily, Sent you some pics of the kayak loaded up for our overnight camp. I was concerned that it would be unstable but it was steady as a rock even without anyone in it... go figure. Cheers, Greg

I purchased the Kayak just before Christmas and have only just had a chance to use it when my partner and i took it out for 3 hours on lake Jindabyne. The Kayak is actually very easy to inflate and re-pack, but there are a few knacks. We chose to do a trial inside to get used to everything in advance and I would recommend this. Watching a You Tube video certainly helped with the re-packing which we hadn't really thought of when taking the Kayak out of the bag. We had a few issues with the floor deflating on the trial, but had no such issues in Jindabyne. The Kayak is extremely comfortable and maneuvers well in both light and heavy winds which we experienced on the day. The design is very well thought out and the Kayak appears to be well made. I can't wait to use it again, hopefully this weekend weather permitting! Nick Wood.

Hello Emily, We enjoyed fun times with the kayak over the last week in both the Stanley River below Somerset Dam and Lake Wivenhoe in the vicinity of the Lumley Hill campsite. We're very pleased with the kayak and our purchase. I've attached a photo of Ailsa fully enjoying her first solo. Regards, Greg
