The Dura-Floor for AdvancedFrame is ideal for keeping the floor of your kayak in perfect condition. The durable, anti-slip material is designed to withstand fish hooks and doggy claws.
The Dura-Floor is a rugged foam floor designed to be installed over the inflatable floor of the AdvancedFrame line of kayaks. It adds a layer of durability for extra protection from claws and hooks.
It is perfectly sized for the kayak, has tabs to lock it into place and is so lightweight, you won't notice any difference when you are paddling.

Thread the inflation tube through the hole in the Dura-floor.
Tuck the Dura-floor tabs under the inner tube.
Then, inflate the kayak as per the instruction manual.
The surface of the dura-floor is anti-slip, so it feels a bit rough to touch. But in terms of comfort, you are still sitting on the nice, soft inflatable floor - feels like a marshmallow under your tushie.
The lightweight dura-floor conveniently rolls up for compact storage when not in use (strap included).
