Emily: It was fantastic experience for using the Advanced Element kayak. After a few padding trips in the Bobbin Heads I know how to handle the kayak. Every time I dropped my kayak into Cowan Creek in Bobbin Head , a lot of people ask me about the inflatable kayak, How good it is? Where to buy it? Of course I told them to order from OZ inflatable kayak web site and the kayak is a very good one and perform very well in water. The family having fun with fishing on the shore asked me about the kayak. A guy with a hard body kayak stopped me in the middle of the river and asked me a lot of question about the kayak and touched it and asked me to give him a try. A group of bush walking team from the shore asked me to stopped and asked me about the kayak and took a photo of my kayak. The kayak is a very good product and I enjoy very much with it every weekend with my wife and my son, We have 3 inflatable kayaks , the other 2 are the Stearns one. They are also very good as well, but slower than Advanced Elements. Regards, Donald
