By Abigail Scott
I'm Abigail Scott, an author, adventurer, and mother of three. When I'm not navigating the beautiful chaos of motherhood, you can find me tackling the turbulent waters as a professional whitewater kayaker or scaling impressive rock faces as a climbing guide. The rush of adrenaline, whether from kayaking or climbing, is a feeling I cherish deeply. But the thrill doesn't stop there; I capture the breathtaking allure of nature through my lens as a professional photographer. And when I'm not submerged in the wild, my software engineering skills amplify my outdoor pursuits, allowing me to harness technology in unique ways. Through my writings, whether articles or blog posts, I share not just my adventures but my heart, hoping to spark a flame of inspiration in others to break boundaries and experience the world's wonders.

Advanced Elements StraitEdge Angler Inflatable Fishing Kayak - The StraitEdge Angler sit-on-top inflatable fishing kayak from Advanced Elements has been designed with the needs of the kayak angler in mind. The StraitEdge Angler's wide beam provides maximum stability while bringing in big catches.
Built-in aluminum ribs define the bow and stern to improve tracking. Heavy-duty material, abrasion pads, and multiple air chambers provide maximum durability for aggressive conditions. The StraitEdge Angler's revolutionary removable Accessory Frame lets you customize your kayak with rod holders, a fish finder, or other equipment. A high back seat with two rod holders and an inflatable lumbar support makes long days on the water comfortable.
Stainless steel d-rings and bungee deck lacing give you abundant gear storage, and paddle holders let you concentrate on the fishing. At the end of the day, roll the StraitEdge Angler up and throw it in the trunk. The Advanced Elements StraitEdge Angler combines fishing-specific features with their patented aluminum rib-frame technology for superior tracking and performance!
This inflatable kayak is designed specifically for anglers and features multi-layer material and a patented aluminum rib-frame. The abrasion pads offer maximum durability, and the wide beam increases the kayak's stability. The high-back seat with two rod holders and inflatable lumbar support ensures comfort during long hours on the water. The kayak also comes with a removable mounting rail for customization.
The kayak measures 9 feet 8 inches by 35 inches and weighs 41 pounds. It has a weight capacity of 300 pounds and is covered by a one-year manufacturer warranty.
Now let's address some FAQs:
Does this version have a drop stitch floor? No, the floor is inflatable. The new 12 ft model has the drop stitch floor.
Does this come with a paddle? No.
Can a motor be mounted to this unit? No. It only has a mounting rack on the front and I’d say it’s somewhat limited what you can put on there.
Does it come with a pump? No, a pump does not come with it. However, a pump is not expensive. It takes maybe 20 pumps to inflate each of the three air containers, and 10 pumps to inflate the other two air pockets. The kayak can easily hold a person weighing 200 lbs and a dog weighing 80 lbs.
