Most self-bailing inflatable kayaks are designed for paddling white water. They typically have quite a bit of rocker to allow quick turning and other maneuvers. The Advanced Elements StraitEdge Inflatable Kayak is the first to incorporate an aluminum bow and stern frame to improve tracking in open water conditions. The hull design is similar to a hardshell sit-on-top kayak, yet it can be packed away into its duffel bag and paddled in most remote locations. Whether you are storing it in your closet, or the trunk of your car, you can be sure that you are always just a few pumps away from your next adventure.
