Description

Last one! Comfortable, roomy and great performance - now with high-backed lumbar seat!

The Expedition Kayak with cutting edge technology! The Expedition is a 13-foot hybrid of a folding frame kayak and an inflatable. Compact enough for a weekend adventure, it sets up in a few minutes, and has plenty of on-board storage for extended trips! And with the adjustable lumbar support seat, you're guaranteed comfortable rides during long excursions!

AirKayaks note: The yellow Expedition AE1009Y is being replaced with the AE1009B in blue - these will be arriving in July. You can also ask to get on our Notification List for the upcoming AE1009B.

If you love the water, but like to travel light, this sleek compact inflatable kayak will add a new dimension to your outdoor adventures. From lakes, and mild rivers, to bays and estuaries, it is a delight to get on the water quickly; keep it deflated in the trunk of your car and the next time you're driving along a river, lake or bay, you can be fishing or paddling in just minutes! This is the perfect watercraft for campers, Rvers, travelers or those that just don't want the hassle of roof racks! Duffle bag included!

  • Low center of gravity design provides good stability and easy paddling.
  • Nine chambers provide additional buoyancy and unique kayak shape.
  • New Advanced inflation with TwistLok valves and high-flow Spring valves allow for simple setup time. No special adaptor needed!

  • Great touring boat

    by Unknown – 4th Aug 2013

    I own 2 Advanced Frame Convertibles, one Advanced Frame Single and my last purchase was the Expedition. The Convertibles were for the family, the Advance Frame single was for the kids to paddle single and a play boat and the Expedition was for me. The closest your going to get to a rigid touring boat in an inflatable hull. I use the back bone with it and it tracks straight, paddles easy, no issues with room and storage on board. It is a touring boat for short shoreline paddles or multi day trips, no issues with wind or waves and on the great lakes we get both. Very happy with performance and the long zippers front and rear make cleaning out and drying much easier. Very happy with boat.

  • Very impressive!

    by Chris – 20th Apr 2011

    The expedition arrived, earlier this morning! Very nicely packaged and everything arrived in good shape. It really is a beautiful little boat and very well built. I paddled around the marina and then poked my nose out into the Georgia Strait, close to the shore and paddled about a quarter of a mile upwind, against a wind strength of about ten knots. The boat tracked well and was easy to paddle. At no time, did I feel uncomfortable about the stability of the boat, even with the chop on the beam. I was and am very impressed with the boat and am really looking forward to getting out again and for longer excursions. My overall impression of the boat is, that it is very well made, with great stability , tracking and maneuverability. I have absolutely no problem recommending this kayak to a friend! I have already had a few friends asking to try it when the weather improves. I am REALLY HAPPY with the boat!
