Advanced Elements AirFusion Evo Inflatable Kayak

Beginning well over a decade ago with the introduction of the world’s first truly Hybrid Inflatable Kayak, Advanced Elements has developed and patented designs that have evolved the way that inflatable kayaks perform on the water. Their line of kayaks features many innovations that deliver the best in durability, portability, and performance. Continuing the EVOlution of this award-winning design, the AirFusion EVO is unlike any other inflatable kayak on the water! The first of its kind, the AirFusion EVO’s unique design is a fusion of aluminum frame poles, high-pressure drop-stitch air chambers, and an enclosed outer polyurethane skin which results in a streamlined high-performance kayak. Skirt-able for protection in adverse conditions, the EVO offers great stability, a V-shape hull for superior tracking and a rear access hatch for easy access to under deck items. At 13′ (396.25cm) long, with a narrow beam and drop-stitch technology, the AirFusion EVO is a quick and nimble kayak that tracks like a rigid hard-shell.

Speed and High Performance!
Designed to rival the performance and speed of skin-on-frame kayaks, while simplifying the setup procedure, the AirFusion has evolved over the years through a series of improvements and refinements into the New AirFusion EVO. An inflatable kayak unlike any other on the water, the AirFusion EVO’s design utilizes drop-stitch technology for the main air chambers, low-pressure air thwarts to build out the structure, a polyurethane tarpaulin outer skin, and an aluminum keel frame. Drop-stitch technology allows us to create high pressure forms that are extremely rigid while the low-pressure air thwarts replace bulky frame parts that are typically used in skin-on-frame kayaks. The aluminum keel frame creates a V-hull for superior tracking while the polyurethane outer skin creates a hydrodynamic surface for enhanced glide through the water making the AirFusion EVO a high-performance kayak for any trip.

Kayak has bungee deck lacing and D-rings for securing gear and tie downs, inflatable coaming for spray skirt attachment, roll-top rear storage access hatch and rubber molded handles for boat transport to and from the water. Inflation and deflation are made easy with the combination of military type spring valves and Boston valves. The AirFusion EVO Kayak is orange and gray in color, measures (L x W) 13′ x 24″ (396.25cm x 61cm), weighs 32 lbs. (14.5 kg), is designed for one person with a maximum weight capacity of 235 lbs. (106 kg). The boat is a 5-chamber design for added safety. When folded the kayak measures (L x W x D) 35″ x 21″ x 9″ (89cm x 53.3cm x 23cm) providing portability: No roof rack needed! Pack in the trunk of your car or fly it to remote destinations. Included with the kayak are a carry duffel bag with shoulder strap, folding inflatable seat, repair kit and owner’s manual.
