My kayaks didn't come with a paddle. Very disappointed grandchildren who can't use the kayaks! This is not acceptable!

I have an Advanced Element Kayak (not the 2 person) and LOVE it. It's a breeze to inflate and deflate and very durable. I've owned mine for a few years and it's still in great condition because it's incredibly durable. Highly recommend this brand of inflatable Kayaks!

Hi quick question, I am debating joining this drop but I have no experience with inflatables, I currently have a 10 ft rec, a 14.5 current designs breeze and a 17.7 Current Designs Solstice GTS.
I am looking at the AE Island for my kids on the local river, the Kickapoo in South Western Wisconsin. it is a slow beautiful river and quite shallow. Sometimes you will bottom out and it can be a bit rocky at times. Not jagged rocks but rocks nonetheless. So my concern is how tough is this kayak? I am thinking it is resilient enough to handle this as it will not be hitting rocks at a high rate of speed and most rocks are small. How puncture resistant is it?

I don't have this particular boat, but I have two AE kayaks, as well as some other-brand hardshells. This can handle bumps and dragging--at least mine has. I love how easy it is to get mine inflated and in the water, without having to unload a heavy boat off the roof of the car. There are things I prefer my CD Storm and Dagger Mamba for, but for sheer ease of use, in fun situations, my AE boats are at the top of the list. I got one of their four part paddles, too, and I've been surprised at how wobble-free it is, and how good the catch is. It's well designed. (And I don't work for AE.)

ProPhoto_56401Hi ProPhoto_56401, Thanks for your question. The most significant difference between the two, is that the Island Voyage2 kayak is designed with a durable outer cover, made of PVC tarpaulin and hi denier polyester. The air chambers are inside the cover and are much more protected from abrasion, etc. In contrast, the Intex Explorer2 is constructed of a single layer of vinyl. The hull of the Island Voyage2 kayak is made of a durable PVC Tarpaulin which is two sheets of PVC bonded to a fabric mesh. Designed to take the abrasion of rocks and beaching. The inflatable floor chamber sits on the inside and is covered by a fabric top cover, so you can take you dog with you and not worry about its nails. This kayak also has a removable tracking fin for improved tracking. You can paddle solo by moving one seat to the center buckles. Thanks for your question!

Can this. E inflatable by something other than the foot pump? Prefer to use a small air compressor. Will this damage the kayak in any way?

TaylorchrisThis doesn't really answer the question, but I wanted to point out that I used an AE foot pump on mine. It only look a few minutes of pretty mild work to pump it up. The low pressure needed and high volume of the pump is a good combo.

Awake2I've fished for bass with the single seat version of this and it works fine. The material is pretty stout, but I am still careful with the hooks. Never had a puncture though so can't say how easy or hard it is to put a hook in one.

Awake2I have fished from mine, and have gotten a hook caught on a seam, but it is a backed reinforced fabric, not just plain pvc or vinyl. the hook didn't puncture the shell material, and the air bladders are separate, inside the shell, so would need to go through two layers. You can add the accessory rail from them via amazon, etc, to mount rod holders, etc.

Adding my review here, since I don't see a way to add anything on the Reviews tab.
I got mine last summer and only had a chance to use it once.
The weight limit is listed as 400 lbs. My wife and I are closer to 450 together, not including dogs and gear. Loading it up like that probably makes it harder to paddle and track, but it still works fine for us.
Also, I'm 6'4" and my wife is 5"10. After a couple hours paddling, we were still very comfortable. We only intend to use it for short trips and fishing on the lakes around here, I probably wouldn't want to take an all day trip in it.
Using the AE foot pump, I was surprised how quickly it inflated, and without much effort at all.

allentAllen, can you fit yourself and your wife and a dog into this kayak? My wife and I are each one size smaller than the two of you, and our dog is about 33 pounds. I've looked at this kayak before and thought that it would be too small for the three of us.

frostyjhammerIt may depend on how you planned to use it.
A dog would fit with us as well. But he would be in between our legs. For what we use it for, that's OK. Just on small lakes fishing, or to get across them to a campsite. But a longer trip or day trip would probably be uncomfortable.

If I'm in this and my buddy is in a rigid kayak, will I struggle to keep up?

NcWolfwalkerReally depends on the paddler but all of AE's kayaks are recommended to use at least a 230cm paddle. With the Island Voyage 2, you do sit up high enough that a 230 works for anyone from about 5'2" and up.

NcWolfwalkerI tried using a 220 for about 10 strokes, then switched out to a 240. I stilll whacked my knuckles a few times, but it’s inflatable, so it gives.
