Advanced Elements Kayak Accessories

Advanced Elements owners usually add just one or two accessories and suddenly their kayak feels custom-built for the kind of paddling they actually do.

Most upgrades are dead simple – clip on, zip up or slide in – and turn a great inflatable into exactly what you need for longer tours, cooler weather or rougher water.

The Accessories Most Advanced Elements Paddlers Add First

• Spray deck / spray skirt: keeps water out of the cockpit on windy days or when you’re pushing through small waves. The convertible models take the zip-on deck in seconds.
• Extra high-pressure air chamber (side bladders): bumps stiffness from good to rock-hard and adds an extra safety chamber. Takes 30 seconds to swap in.
• Foot brace / thigh brace kit: locks you in properly so you can paddle harder and for longer without sliding around.
• Deck bag & dry bags: waterproof roll-top bags that clip straight to the bungees. Perfect size for camera, lunch or spare layers.
• Wheel trolley: the little foldable cart that clips under the bow and stern. Makes moving the rolled-up kayak from car to water painless.
• Sailing rudder kit (for Expedition & Lagoon models): adds a flip-down rudder and small sail option when the wind is with you.
• Bilge pump & sponge: cheap insurance when you’re miles from anywhere.

All accessories are designed to fit the AdvancedFrame, Expedition, Lagoon and PackLite series perfectly – no bodging or drilling required.

Most people keep it minimal: spray deck + foot brace + one deck bag. That combo turns a summer lake boat into something you happily take on multi-day coastal trips.
