This addition to your AdvancedFrame Single Kayak will improve tracking and rigidity during less than perfect conditions on the water.

  • The Backbone is inserted underneath the floor panel and runs the entire length of the kayak preventing the kayak from flexing while paddling
  • Collapsible design allows you to store the Backbone in the kayak's storage bag
  • Install the Backbone prior to inflating your kayak

    Comments about Advanced Elements Backbone Internal Kayak Frame - AdvancedFrame Single Kayak:

    The Backbone provides an amazing performance boost to the Advanced Frame inflatable kayak. Everything from speed, rigidity, and the way you glide through the water improves drastically. Having used my AE kayak for a week without it I can't imagine why they don't just include one with the kayak. I would have trouble recommending an AE kayak without one. It takes your kayak from "Neat." to "YEAH! Now what?!"

    Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
