The Ultimate Hybrid: Hard-Shell Performance in an Inflatable Package.

The AdvancedFrame® Expedition Elite 13 (Model AE1009-XE) is the natural evolution of the legendary Expedition kayak.

Whether you are planning a multi-day touring trip or a quick afternoon paddle, the Expedition Elite offers the tracking, speed, and storage capacity needed for serious water exploration.
