ADVANCED ELEMENTS BackBone® - AdvancedFrame® / AdvancedFrame Sport

Give your kayak the strength of a spine

While all of our kayaks are designed to deliver excellent performance, we understand that some paddlers strive for even higher performance levels. For those seeking to take their AdvancedFrame® (AE1012) and AdvancedFrame Sport (AE1017) kayaks to the next level, we offer the patented BackBone® accessory. The BackBone® is specifically designed to enhance each kayak's rigidity and tracking performance, allowing you to experience even greater performance and control on the water. Cannot combine with a drop stitch floor.

Details

How it works

The BackBone® is a multi-sectional keel beam that you assemble and install under the inflatable floor inside your kayak each time you set it up. Once you sit inside the kayak, your body weight presses the BackBone® downward, creating a V-shaped hull which enhances the tracking and hull speed of the kayak.

Why it's great

The BackBone® provides the best tracking enhancement, and the price-conscious will notice that the BackBone® is considerably less expensive than the drop-stitch floor.
