Advanced Elements BackBone AE2023-AFC Manuallines für die Verwendung
Thank you for your purchase of the Advanced Elements BackBone®! The BackBone® is an easy to use tracking
enhancement for the AdvancedFrame® line of kayaks as well as the DragonFly 2XC™ and Lagoon2™ kayaks. Before you
hit the water, there are just a few things that you should know about where, and in what conditions, you should not use
your BackBone® in so that you can avoid the risk of damage to your kayak.
Areas and Conditions the BackBone® SHOULD NOT be used in:
Rivers/Whitewater
For whitewater, typically the less tracking you have, the better, so that you can pivot and maneuver quickly. The
BackBone® is designed to enhance the tracking ability of your kayak so you do not want to use it in these
conditions.
Additionally, rivers can become very shallow in many areas and have submerged hazards that could cause
extreme damage to your kayak if you ran over them with the rigid beam of a BackBone® running down the
center of your kayak.
Rough Surf
If putting out or coming in on a beach with rough surf, you do not want to use your BackBone®. The force of
landing on the beach, if not done properly, can cause damage to the BackBone® itself.
Shallow Water with Submerged Objects/Oyster Beds/Reefs
Extreme Caution should be taken when paddling through shallow water conditions, where hidden hazards could
be submerged, or in oyster beds or reefs. The BackBone® is a hard keel beam that is pressed against the hull of
your kayak and creates a firm point for your kayak to run aground on. As a result, it is not advised to use your
BackBone® in these types of areas or conditions because you could damage the hull of your kayak. Without the
BackBone® installed in these conditions, your kayak's hull is more flexible, making it more resistant to damage.
The hull of your kayak is made of very durable PVC Tarpaulin and can withstand running aground on most types of
beaches with the BackBone® installed. Areas to be avoided would be any beaches that have a significant amount of
sharp or jagged rocks. Aside from that, the kayak will not have any problem landing on beaches with the BackBone®
installed.
Dragging Your Kayak Across Land
As a general rule of thumb, you should never drag your kayak across rough terrain or pavement because it can cause
damage to the hull of your kayak. This is especially important to remember when you have the BackBone® installed in
your kayak.
