High grade aluminum bow & stern ribs w/ reinforced seams
Advanced Elements Strait Edge Inflatable Kayak - While most self-bailing inflatable kayaks are designed for paddling white water, the Strait Edge kayak is the first inflatable to incorporate an aluminum bow and stern frame to improve tracking in open water conditions. When the chambers are inflated these frame ribs press against the outer cover and form a high performance bow and stern. The hull design is similar to a hardshell sit-on-top kayak. The self-bailing design allows the Strait Edge to shed water while paddling in bigger waves. You can also close the ports in calm or cold water for a drier ride. The breathable foam mesh back support and padded seat are perfect for all day paddling comfort. Two included rod holder give you increase versatility for fishing. The Strait Edge is heavy-duty PVC Tarpaulin material. It is made by combining two sheets of PVC with a fabric mesh in the middle for extreme puncture resistance. Best of all, it can be packed away into its included duffel bag and carried into remote locations. Whether you are storing it in your closet or the trunk of your car, you can be sure that you are always just a few pumps away from your next adventure. Now get out there and go for a paddle!
