The Advanced Elements AirVolution2 (AE3030) is built to paddle like a hard-shell. No roof rack. No truck. No dedicated storage space. It rolls up into a bag that fits in the trunk of any car, and you're on the water in under 15 minutes.
Purchased early-season 2025 and used only 1 time (on Lake River near Ridgefield). Retails new for $1,319.99. Asking $800 for everything listed below (with extras)
Who is this for:
Two adults who want to paddle together? Solo if you want to spread out and carry extra gear? Second boat for a growing family? Kids? Beginners? Durable enough for a regular paddler who doesn't want to hassle with a hard-shell? Boaters/Sailors/Live-aboards who want a second or emergency dinghy? Yes to all that. It stores flat, weighs 52 lbs, and deploys fast with a single person.
Perfect for some of the lakes and rivers around - the Willamette, Lacamas Lake, the Sandy, the Clackamas - anywhere with flat to mildly moving water (I haven't personally taken it on the Columbia, so paddle conditions and wind there are your own call).
Specs:
- Length: 14'6"
- Width: 37"
- Weight: 52 lbs
- Max capacity: 550 lbs (2 paddlers + gear)
- 2 independent air chambers with pressure relief valves for redundant safety and proper inflation
- High-pressure drop-stitch construction throughout (rigid, not floppy)
- Removable tracking skeg keeps the hull running straight and true, even in light current
- Heavy-duty PVC tarpaulin outer skin (smooth, hydrodynamic, and tough)
- Injection-molded nose caps for improved tracking and water entry
- Open deck design for easy entry and exit from either end
- Cockpit splash guard and built-in drain well for easy cleanup
- Bungee deck lacing and D-rings for strapping down gear (snacks, water, a dry bag, or the manual pump for extra peace of mind on longer paddles)
- Rugged soft-grip carry handles
Everything included:
Original equipment (came with the kayak):
- 2 adjustable high-back removable seats
- Adjustable foot brace
- Removable tracking skeg
- Dual-stage manual pump with pressure gauge
- Rolling backpack duffel bag (both wheels for rolling and backpack straps for carrying; fits everything, goes anywhere)
- Repair kit
Added extras (included at no additional cost):
- Electric pump with car adapter (12v DC) ~$20 value. Inflates to volume in minutes; finish with the manual pump to hit final pressure
- 2x Feelfree Day-Tourer 2-piece fiberglass paddles - $99 each retail. Asymmetrical blades, reduced torque, drip rings included; upgrade over basic paddles
Everything fits in the rolling duffel. The whole kit goes in your trunk. You're on the water.
