Frequently Asked Questions:

Which deck goes with this kayak? AE2022?

Depends on what you want. I prefer to run mine open and have the flexibility to accommodate 1, 2, or 3 people without a deck. However, if you wish to enclose it, you will need AE2021 for a single rider seated in the center or AE2022 for two. This kayak is highly versatile and receives many compliments from users. It provides the added benefit of easy transportation when compared to hard-shell kayaks.

Do the AE inflatables take a beating when beaching the kayak?

Yes, but it's important to note that I treat this kayak with more care than a conventional rigid version. With that being said, I've taken it out about six times last summer for fishing trips and it has held up strong. We used boat launches and even did a few rocky island beachings without any issues.

My problem is all the water that comes through the zipper on the top of the bow. Drips into the kayak into my lap! Is there any way to stop that?

Sometimes, it helps to check your paddling technique and see if you can adjust the angle of your stroke to minimize the water hitting the boat. However, if you're still experiencing water entering through the zipper, there are several options to waterproof it. Personally, I recommend using chapstick, which has worked well for me in the past. Floor wax and beeswax are also effective options. Additionally, there are specific marine and car products available on platforms like Amazon, such as 303, that can waterproof fabric. If these solutions don't provide relief, consider adding a small cover flap, possibly using velcro tape instead of sewing.

What is the weight capacity for this kayak?

The maximum weight capacity for this kayak is 550 lbs. I absolutely love it!
