“Given lockdown, I've only been out once but that once was so relaxing and peaceful. The kayak was very stable and I thought I'd need to buy the lumbar seat but my back feels supported. The set up and pack up is so easy and I love the room in the bag to fit the paddle and pump too. My chronic health issues meant that lifting a kayak onto the roof of a car etc was a barrier and now I have the a ability to get out on the water and soak up nature from a different perspective.”
“I am absolutely thrilled with my AF Sport Kayak and the outstanding advice and support I received from Emily when making the decision about which model kayak would suit me and my needs best. I love using the kayak and the best thing is that I can take it anywhere. Yesterday I drove to Lake Buffalo with two other passengers in my Kia Cerrato and still had plenty of room for the kayak, my gear and a large esky. The kayak is so stable and easy to manoeuvre on the water and I love it when Rueben ( my dog) comes along for a paddle. I would definitely recommend talking to Emily about this product - I think you will love it too.”
“I have recently purchased the Advanced frame sport kayak and absolutely thrilled with it. I chose the inflatable to take away in my motorhome and it has proved to be everything i need. Its easy to inflate and set up, stable and i am very happy with it”
“I know I left it a bit late in life to get into kayaking.
Better late than never.
For the first half of this year I spent most of my time at Tweed Heads helping out my sister in law, who was diagnosed with cancer.
She lived across the road from the Tweed River, so it was ideal for me to go out and buy an inexpensive inflatable kayak with which I had lots of early morning paddles.
Until a leak developed in a faulty seam.
I took the faulty product back and replaced it with a hard shell kayak and got strap on soft roof racks to get it home to my sister in law's unit.
This served me well for the time I remained, but I had no intention of carrying it back to Sydney on my car roof.
Before we left Tweed Heads I was so keen to continue with the kayaking that I researched and went out and bought an AdvancedFrame Sport Kayak.
When I easily got this home I had many great paddles on the Nepean River near Camden, but also occasionally near Menangle. This venue involves going down and up a fairly steep bank.
For a 78 year old with heart problems the return journey up the bank with 11Kgs on my shoulder was a bit daunting.
So I got my AdvancedFrame Ultralite Kayak.
Both kayaks are comfortable and a delight to paddle.
I can wholeheartedly recommend either of these.”
“Very easy to set up and take down, and I am short and not particularly strong. Setup in only a few minutes, then a beautiful smooth ride! Easy to paddle and navigate, and room for my beloved pup! Emily super helpful in choosing the right one for me. Overall, so glad I did it!”
“Bought ourselves two Advanced frame sport inflatable kayaks for xmas and are so pleased we did. We live on Bribie Island and the kayaks are perfect for exploring Pumicestone Passage - and pulling in for a coffee stop along the way (see photo). The kayaks track really well and at 11.5 kgs are light enough for us to put on top of the car (we are two women in our 60’s). The only thing missing is somewhere to put the coffee mug! Emily was great to deal with and made this purchase very straight forward. Would highly recommend.”
“Emily, Everything that you said about the Advancedframe Sport Inflatable Kayak is true.
As a 65 year old grandma I can fit the deflated kayak into the back of my X-trail quickly, get to my location and easily carry it 20 metres to the shoreline. Minutes later I am away and paddling on Brisbane Waters, Gosford, it is so easy (after learning the setup, initially).
Love, love it after 10 years of struggling to lift hobbies etc, this is so easy, BUT the best is when I get back to shore, deflate the kayak and I am on the way home in ten minutes, others with their fibreglass kayaks are still trying to unstrap and pack onto utes, trails and rooftops, I am on the way home to a nice cup of tea.
Thanks Christine”
“Hi Emily, I'm back at home in freezing Bright, Vic and wishing I was back in the cosy north!
Attached is a shot from the Bellingen River on the way south. My photography is pretty ordinary - possibly because I'm taking shots thru a waterproof phone bag, but I'll persevere & one day might get you some more artistic stuff for the gallery.
Regards, Jim”
