The 13 ft. Advanced Elements Expedition Elite kayak takes all the great features of the original AE1009Y Expedition and then hits a home run! Introduced as a Limited Edition in 2015, the new version Expedition Elite AE1009XE sports a 4-6 PSI high-pressure floor, a color redesign, as well as some innovative design changes. A "deck lift" - consisting of an aluminum bar - works in conjunction with the current integrated inflatable deck lifts, to create a sculpted look with more knee/legroom as well as shedding accumulated water.

This high pressure kayak's features include a rear integrated storage hatch with rolltop closure and updated d-rings, making it easier to attach and access gear, velcro paddle holders and an Ocean Blue diamond ripstop material with orange graphics.
