An absolute must buy for any AE kayak.

Rating:*****
The Backbone provides an amazing performance boost to the Advanced Frame inflatable kayak. Everything from speed, rigidity, and the way you glide through the water improves drastically. Having used my AE kayak for a week without it I can't imagine why they don't just include one with the kayak. I would have trouble recommending an AE kayak without one. It takes your kayak from "Neat." to "YEAH! Now what?!"
