Advanced Elements Lagoon 2

Size, Weight, Capacity

The Lagoon 2 is 12 ft. (366 cm) long and 35 in. (90 cm) wide. This wide beam gives you a stable, easy to paddle platform and with the mid-range length, you can get up to a comfortable cruising speed.

Two-person kayaks are often heavy and difficult to move, but at just 37 lbs. (17 kg), you’ll have the Lagoon 2 loaded easily into the trunk of your car.

A maximum capacity of 350 lbs. (159 kg) isn’t enormous, but two small adults (or an adult and a kid) can comfortably fit in the Lagoon 2.

Features

Lightweight inflatable kayaks often come unstuck in wind or waves. The Lagoon 2 has rigid bow and stern panels, giving more definition to the hull and improved tracking. A fin at the rear also helps in the wind.

Internal tube covers give you increased stiffness and response, as well as abrasion protection. This is a tough kayak, despite how light it is. Tough fabric on the tubes, as well as a landing plate on the hull, give you peace of mind as you launch and land on the beach.

Comfortable high backed seats and plenty of space for your legs mean you can stay out on the water all day. The foam floor gives the Lagoon 2 an extra performance boost.

Top deck bungee and a small mesh pocket give you storage for essential items and splash protectors around the cockpits stop you from being soaked by spray or waves.

The eight-chamber design of the Lagoon 2 keeps you safe on the water. In case of deflation or puncture, you still have enough buoyancy to return safely to shore.

Performance

The Advanced Elements Lagoon 2 is a recreational kayak which does exactly what it sets out to do. This kayak is lightweight, easy to transport and really quick to get on the water. One of the major drawbacks to tandem kayaks is often how heavy they are and how hard they are to load onto the roof of your car. With the Lagoon 2, just throw it in the trunk and away you go.

On the water, this is a stable and easy to maneuver kayak which is great for beginners and experienced paddlers alike. In spite of the rigid bow and stern, it’s not the fastest kayak and doesn’t have the best tracking, but it does well for its size and weight.

While maybe not designed for long trips or wild conditions, this kayak is a great choice for exploring leisurely lakes and coastal bays. With small paddlers or families, the Lagoon 2 can be used as a swimming platform and even for lightweight camping trips. There are almost endless possibilities for you to take to the water.
