Advanced Elements BackBone for AdvancedFrame Convertible Kayak

Give your kayak the strength of a spine. While each of Advanced Elements kayaks are designed for the best in performance, they've found that there are those who seek even higher performance. For paddlers looking to up the ante in the AdvancedFrame line, as well as their Lagoon 2 Kayak, Advanced Elements offer their patented BackBone accessory. While this accessory offers its own advantages, works to further enhance the rigidity and tracking performance of each AdvancedFrame kayak as well as the Lagoon 2.

How It Works: The BackBone is a multi-sectional keel beam that you assemble and install under the inflatable floor inside of your kayak each time that you set it up. Once you sit inside of the kayak, your body weight presses the BackBone downward, creating a V-shaped hull which is what enhances the tracking and hull speed of the kayak. Why Choose It: The BackBone provides the best in tracking enhancement and the price conscious will notice that the BackBone is considerably less expensive vs. the drop-stitch floor. This BackBone is made from durable aluminum and measures 114.5" (290.8cm) in length and is designed to be used with the Advanced Elements Expedition Kayak.
