I'm not a stalker or anything. I found your blog when I did a Google Image search for the Advanced Elements AdvancedFrame Expedition Inflatable Kayak. Have you had an opportunity to use it yet? I'm wondering if you could offer some feedback. I had my eye on this one until I went to a free demo event and found the hard plastic kayaks to be much faster. They didn't have this model available for demo - they had a Puffin Saco (foldable) model. I found that I kind of dragged it down in the middle, despite the aluminum "spine" which was possibly what made it feel 'draggy'. I also learned that I need a 'low profile' kayak due to my 'low profile paddling style', otherwise I'm constantly hitting the sides with the paddle. This is all new to me. If you have time - between all your travels & family obligations - could you respond? I would greatly appreciate it. And, once again - I'm not a stalker - but you do have a lovely family ;-) Thanks. /JMS Hi there! I’m not a stalker or anything.
