In the past, I've used various kayaks from white water to touring. I decided to go with an inflatable and own an AEAF tandem kayak, and very pleased with it. It is as advertised. Also, the instructions are clear as to what order and pressures to inflate the chambers. However, I did not get a pump (as shown in the video) with my kayak order. Great video, thanks from the USA.
Hey there @mariobie, cheers for commenting! No my apologies the soft floor version of the convertible isn't available anymore. It has been superseded by the drop stitch version. The rigidity it provides makes for fantastic speed and tracking. If you are chasing the soft floor version, the upgrade to the drop-stitch model is money well spent. Cheers again for your comment.

Would it good for fishing. I’m from the states and I’m looking for a gold inflatable that I can fish from because of college life. I found one for $200 US dollars and it’s never been used.
Thank you for explanation. Does the DSF is fixed at the bottom of the kayak, or did you preinstall it before the video? This new seat looks amazing, but not sell as individual part (for upgrading), unfortunately?
Hey there @jmparis83! Yes the drop stitch floor isn't attached in the Convertible Elite. If you do happen to get a bit of water in there, it makes cleaning a breeze. The seats ARE amazing! They are for sale as separate items too, at least here in Australia. They a currently retail for around $150 each. I hope this helps. Cheers again for commenting. Lee @ Kayaks For Fishing
Thanks so much for mentioning vetteazul5114! It depends whether you are using an electric pump similar to the one I use in the video but even without that, you can expect a setup time of between maybe 8 to 10 minutes. You will of course get faster with practice too. Sing out if you have any questions. Lee @ Kayaks For Fishing
Hey there @phoenixalcyone. Cheers for your question. The one in this video is actually mine. I love it I take my kids out in the Convertible and it's a fantastically compact and versatile kayak. Quite a bit faster than some of my other kayaks that I own too. Sing out if you have any questions at all. Lee @ Kayaks for fishing
Ahh too easy! These two are very different types of kayaks to paddle so there are a few differences. The performance of the Convertible will be quite a bit higher. The high sides of the Tomahawk are way more likely to be affected by wind compared to the Convertible. This is why the Tomahawk has a few fins underneith where the Convertible just has a small skeg. The Convertible has a reputation for beaituful on the water performance even in windy or choppy conditions. When it sits in the water those frames in the front and rear kind of turn the boat into a giant rudder to help it track straight (hence why its less affected by wind). The deluxe seating is quite a bit more comfortable too than the ones in the Tomahawk. As of today (17/10/24) the Convertible is on a $430 sale discount too. Sing out if you have more questions I hope this helps :-) Lee @ Kayaks For Fishing

Great Video. Thanks. Do you have instructional video for model AE1007 ( Advanced Frame Convertible ) with optional drop-stich Floor installation ?

Great video! How long does it take to set up from unpacking to ready to kayak?

I was actually indecisive in choosing between Aqua Marina Tomahawk Air-C 480 3 Person Inflatable Drop-Stitch Kayak Canoe and this one?
Which is which?
