Elite = Drop-stitch floor construction + Adjustable seat with inflatable lumbar support + Duffel Bag with removable shoulder straps
- Multi-layer Construction : Unlike many inflatable kayaks, in which the side wall of the main chamber is in-fact the inflation chamber itself, our kayaks are developed with multiple layers of material for maximum durability. The main inflation chambers are encased in their own outer tube cover and, in many of our models, the encased inflation chambers are then protected by the outer shell of the kayak body offering the best in protection against the elements.
- Multiple Air Chambers : Our unique air chamber design provides optimum safety while out on the water. We divide the main inflation chamber into two separate air chambers that encompass the entire kayak so that, if one chamber were to become compromised, the kayak has a second chamber fully encompassing the boat.
Performance Details
- Hull Design: Built-in aluminum rib-frame technology in the bow and stern, and Drop-stitch technology in the floor, improves tracking, rigidity, and hull speed.
- Durable: 3 Layers of material for extreme puncture resistance.
- Easy To Set Up: Pre-Assembled at the factory. Simply unfold, inflate and attach the seats.

Important note
It is not easy to choose the right kayak for your activities! I am here for you. You will read on almost every website that these are the best kayaks with excellent gliding ability on the water. This is not true! Even in the Advanced Elements brand, the Lagoon1 does not have the same characteristics as the AFrame Elite.
All our kayaks have been disassembled and tested by me. I know the technical characteristics, advantages and disadvantages of each model. Do not hesitate to ask me your questions before buying your kayak. My goal is your satisfaction. And if I don’t have the right model for you, I will tell you directly.
Have fun on the water,

Exceptionnel du début à la fin. Un service sérieux, rapide associé à un super suivi. Kayak livré en 3 jours, avec en plus de précieux conseils. Le TOP. Merci Frédéric
Sans doute des mains maladroites qui ont sélectionné une étoile pour le service client de Frédéric. Le mal est réparé car 5 étoiles est une manière de définir un service qu’on ne trouve pas ailleurs. De plus le contact est d’emblée basé sur une confiance et un respect mutuels.
Top service, zeer behulpzaam, zeer goede service. Een echte aanrader!
Je kan de kajak van je keuze testen op een leuke locatie, vriendelijke mensen... Heb hem dan ook direct gekocht.. goeie kwaliteit van materiaal...
Tijdens onze vakantie in de Ardeche raakte onze kayak lek (... nadat ik deze online had gekocht). Al "Google-end" kwamen wij uit bij Frederic en zijn bedrijf Advanced Elements - Belgian Agency. Hij stond ons prettig te woord en wilde oprecht behulpzaam zijn met goede raad. Daarmee startte een zeer klantvriendelijke communicatie en ontzettend goede hulp om in de US een nieuwe tube te bestellen. Inmiddels hebben wij voor ons gezin "blind" een tweede kayak bij hem gekocht na een gericht advies. Kortom een aanrader en één van de meest klantvriendelijke bedrijven waar we mee te maken hebben gehad!
Dit is een goede plek om een Advanced Elements kayak te kopen. Frédéric reageert snel, adviseert goed en levert snel. Het contact was heel prettig. De kayaks zijn top, maar dat wist je al, anders was je hier niet terecht gekomen. 😀
Advancedframe expedition gekocht na een heel aangenaam contact met Frederic van aekayaks.be, voor ik beslist heb welke het ging worden mocht ik na uitgebreid en professioneel advies een testvaart doen, en meteen aangenaam verrast door de kwaliteit en stabiliteit van deze kayak, dus ook overgegaan tot de aankoop. Nog steeds is er contact met tips en tricks. Een echte aanrader
In Zweden hadden we deze kajak live op het water gezien en we wisten gelijk: dit wordt onze nieuwe kajak, deze Advanced Elements Advanced Frame Convertible Elite! Maar ja, waar koop je die? Die koop je met plezier bij Frederic, de dealer in de Benelux. Wat een klantgerichtheid en service! Hij dacht gedetailleerd met ons mee en adviseerde op maat. De kajak werd supersnel per post geleverd en omdat wij geen beginners waren hadden we geen instructie nodig. Dachten we. Tot bleek dat we nu na ruim een jaar gebruik toch wel een belangrijk puntje over het hoofd hadden gezien. Ook nu weer geweldig opgelost! Je stelt een vraag per mail en krijgt direct uitgebreid antwoord en tips. Tja, en de kajak? Geweldig om te zien, prima vaareigenschappen, goede snelheid, ruime en stevige zit, een plezier om mee te varen, super eenvoudig en snel op te blazen en op te vouwen. En vergeet niet de vele mooie en praktische accessoires, daar word je hebberig van. Spraydecks, Sprayskirts, Deck bags, Gear bags, Paddles in alle soorten en maten, navigatie-opzetsystemen. Ok, dit merk is niet het goedkoopst, maar wat ons betreft wel veruit het best in de categorie van opblaaskajaks! Kortom: een dikke 10!
I can highly recommend the Belgian Agency of Advanced Elements. From making my first enquiry, it was clear the Frederic is focussed on making sure that customers receive the best advice in order to choose a model that is most suitable for their individual needs. I chose the AFrame Elite. I wanted a model for recreational use, mainly on canals. The kayak is easy to inflate once you run through the procedure a couple of times. It's also easy to deflate and to put back in the bag. Frederic is always happy to give detailed advice after sales and there are plenty of youtube videos to help. Having purchased the kayak in late summer, I have only had a few opportunities to go out in it. However, I can say that stability is really good and the movement/control of the kayak is easy and you soon get comfortable with that aspect. Don't hesitate to contact Frederic if you are thinking of an Advanced Elements model - you will be glad you did.
Frédéric has helped me from the beginning till the end through the whole buying process for the purchase of an AE convertible AE1007DS kayak with the right support on the right moment. You receive a correct advice depending on your personal preference and situation. You get the possibility for testing out a kayak to give you the touch and feel needed to make the right decision while buying a kayak. Even after the purchase if you still have questions, he gives you tips and insights to help you further. Much appreciated! The first trips on the water with the convertible are very positive and with the tips I have got, it was even better. It is a nice quality product I would recommend without a doubt!
I contacted Frederic about buying a kayak. He was very responsive and flexible. Didn't push me at all and wanted to be sure I'd be happy before buying. Made sure I could set it up and break it down before selling to me. Great service and I love the kayak!!
I recently engaged with Frederic for the purchase of a replacement floor for my AE Convertible. Excellent buying experience from start to finish and would highly recommend working with AEBA for your paddling or SUP needs in Belgium or the Netherlands.
Contacted this company as I needed some spare valves for my AirFusion. I was nervous about buying the wrong valves, and got all the help I needed to be sure I got the right ones. Super service, super fast response time, very nice seller (Frédéric). 100% Recommended!
Frédéric really took the effort to let us test a model before buying. Sadly production can't follow global demand. Great product however.
Perfect and fast communication, fast shipping. Thanks a lot!
Enfin j'ai trouvé un super revendeur de pièces détachées pour mon kayak Advanced Elements, ici en France c'est très compliqué d'avoir des pièces disponibles. Grâce à Frédéric et à son magasin situé en Belgique tout ce fait facilement : échanges de mails, suivi du colis et réception des pièces bien emballées. Super service que je recommande ! Et en plus je n'ai même pas acheté mon kayak chez lui, bon ça sera pour le prochain. ...et en + j'ai eu droit à de magnifiques casquettes Advanced Elements offertes, charmante attention, un grand merci pour tout !
