Advanced Elements Lagoon 1 Review Pt 1

This video is about review, setup and testing of the Advanced Elements AE1031-O Lagoon 1 inflatable kayak.

It inflates like the firefly, except that has a floor but no coaming or deck lifts.

GREAT VIDEO!!!

[@DaleMrDSimmons]

Thank you😃

[@doggyman1202]

Thanks for this! Very helpful for this first time user, but how so you keep the yak from deflating rapidly while transitioning from pump to cap? My last inflatable had "Boston Valves" so it was not an issue.

[@DaleMrDSimmons]

Made sure your valves are in the closed position and you must use the AE adapter.

[@doggyman1202]

@@DaleMrDSimmons Thanks. Is that the one with the pin? Sorry. I've only owned one other inflatable so this is new to me.

[@DaleMrDSimmons]

@@doggyman1202 it is a screw on adapter with an internal crossover. No problem, we all have to learn these different yaks.

[@doggyman1202]

@@DaleMrDSimmons Got it! Thanks again.

Hello Dale, hope your recovery is going well, you look strong. 😊 Question for you, I really like the Lagoon 1 as I got one for my son, the only thing is the soft floor. My question is, is there a drop stitch option and failing that is there another inflatable floor that will fit? I have my AE1012 inflatable floor as an extra. If I could stiffen the floor it would be my easy go to Kayak. Anyway really enjoy your videos, all the best🙏🏻

[@DaleMrDSimmons]

Thank you for you well wishes as I really doing great. Unfortunately there is no inflatable floor that will work with the Lagoon 1. I guess inflating the seat to a harder feel might work. I found I had to get over the foam floor and regulate the pressure in the seat for me to get over the foam floor. Hope that helps. Thanks

Hi, I have questions for owners or testers: I have 5,7 " and I would sit in the back in tandem Lagoon 2. Do you think that there is space enough for me? And how much durable is directional fin? Thanks a lot.

[@brucewayne2091]

Nice. Too small for me. Is that your own mod on keeping the adapters connected to the pump?

[@DaleMrDSimmons]

Bruce Wayne thanks, Yes that yak is really small but fun in its own way. Yes i used some small guage paracord through the holes on the pump and adapters as the rubber stringer doesn’t last that long. Thanks for watching

[@brucewayne2091]

@@DaleMrDSimmons Where do you get small gauge paracord? I've got some 550 here but it's too thick.

[@DaleMrDSimmons]

Bruce Wayne try 325

[@jakeq6713]

Dose it come with the pump or a paddle?

[@DaleMrDSimmons]

Comes with just the yak. Some distributors offer different bundles which include paddle and pump.

[@ronhoffman632]

This would have been much more helpful if we could see the boat or the devices while you were talking.

[@aig5429]

400 dollars I think it's a little too expensive

[@DaleMrDSimmons]

Back when I did this video, it was a lot less. Inflation, like everything else has driven prices up across the board.
