INTRODUCTION
It is our goal, at Advanced Elements, to develop new and unique paddles-
ports products that enhance our customers' outdoor experience. Our focus
is on designing and manufacturing "Inflatable kayaks with cutting edge
technology". Our kayaks incorporate many different materials and compo-
nents and deliver high performance at a very reasonable price. We are the
makers of the AdvancedFrame™ Inflatable kayaks, DragonFly™ Inflatable
kayaks and StraitEdge™ Canoe and Kayaks. The AdvancedFrame™ Kayaks
are a hybrid of a folding frame kayak and an inflatable kayak. Its bow slices
through water like a knife and rivals the tracking of hard-shell kayaks. The
stern acts as a skeg increasing the tracking performance. The DragonFly™
kayaks are durable and lightweight. They have built-in rigid forms that in-
crease the performance once it is fully inflated. You can take our inflatables
with you anywhere in the world and no roof rack is needed! Keep it in the
trunk of your car and paddle whenever you want or pack it into a remote
wilderness area and paddle where no one has paddled before. Simply inflate
with a foot pump and hit the water in minutes. Please visit our website for
more information on our products or to find a dealer near you.
