Sports Product Review

If you’re looking for that whitewater thrill, an ocean paddle, or even just a cruise down the lazy river but are daunted by the idea of owning, storing and transporting a full-sized kayak, check out the line of inflatable kayaks from Advanced Elements, (www.advancedelements.com).

I know what you’re thinking: inflatable means it’s a toy, not a high-performance water craft. Think again. Three layers of material must be pierced in order to puncture the main chamber through the hull. Plus there is double the material on the bow and stern, and landing plates welded underneath for protection when beaching the kayak.

Keep it in the trunk of your car, and paddle whenever you want. Or pack it into a remote wilderness area and go where no one has gone before. There’s no roof-rack required. A pump, a paddle and a pond are all you need.
