I can't inflate properly because I didn't get the valve adaptor.

The AE1012 kayak is fine with the stock floor, but no regrets about getting this drop-stitch floor. Easier to get in and out of kayak. Subtly nicer handling.

It was high quality material and it fit perfectly. The problem was that it leaked. I hope to see it back on the market, I want to buy another one.🤞

We used this DSF on the initial test run of our recently-purchased convertible kayak. It felt virtually imperceptible from a hard-body and I am now fully on team inflatable. I had intended to get a backbone for rigidity, but this floor seems more compatible with dogs than the stock floor included with the advanced elements convertible. Tracking was great, we were able to move and turn quickly, and the boat had absolutely no sag with this floor installed. It's a worthwhile purchase, especially if you have to deal with strong winds or strong flow and/or waves.We haven't had to chance to test it out with our dogs, yet, but I'll update my review as soon as we get the chance.

The Advanced Elements AE1007AE Drop Stitch Floor in the Aquaglide Chinook 120 is an AMAZING upgrade and I'm so glad I tried it. It fits well and the rigid floor does not stress the seems whatsoever. It tracks perfectly, is much more stable and easier to get in/out of. It's a completely different boat and I couldn't be more pleased with the outcome of my experiment. Shame on Aquaglide for not including or at least offering the option of a drop stitch floor for the Chinook 120. They could have made a good boat a great one.

This drop stitch is a game changer!!I was paddling solo at 3.5 mph with regular floor. This new floor gives the kayak amazingresults: 1. Better tracking 2. Faster speeds up to 5.5mph 3 Rigidity to be able to stand up . This is worth the price! No backbone needed!.

Rigid, more buoyant, helps you move the kayak faster and it is more stable. Worth every penny. Five stars for sure!

This is a great addition, I just wish it came with the kayak and did not have to be purchased as an add-on.Originally my first attempt to order the kayak did include this floor but that order was never processed (even after a month of waiting). I reordered the Kayak from another seller but didn't catch that the floor was not drop-stitched, hence the extra purchase. Unfortunately, it did increase the overall price quite a bit but it was worth it in the long run

A little expensive but well worth it. Makes the kayak more rigid and stable. Once installed it just stays in place. Fold the kayak up as is if the weight is not an issue.The floor is very rigid at about 5 psi. You can stand up in the kayak easily like a stand up paddle board.To use it inflate the inner chamber of the tube (front valve) until the tube takes some shape at 0 psi before installing single deck. Position the velcro on inner shell to sides of tube as needed.Inflate the floor to about 4 to 5 psi, verify position is centered.Install deck if needed.Inflate outer chamber of the tube (side valve) to 2 psi adjusting the velcro on the inner shell as needed.Inflate deck risers and deck rims.The reason for inflating the floor before the deck is installed is because of the location of the valve. This really only applies to the single deck which limits access to the valve. The double deck can be installed at any time before inflating the main chamber.

I've used this floor once, on a six hour paddle. It held its pressure for about 2 hours and then became a mushy mess. I returned home and pumped it back up to 6lbs pressure (pump has a gauge), and found the leak. There is a seam in the construction that was inexpertly glued and has a small leak around the edges.I am a customer companies love. What's easier at this point? Clean it, pack it up, ship it back and deal with bureaucracy, waiting weeks while the summer disappears? Or patch it with a kit I already own? Let's put it this way: I'll patch it, but I'm not buying from them again.It was fine as a floor at first - not revolutionary but certainly a stiffer feel. We could carry the kayak without it bending in the middle.EDIT: Patch did not hold as the leak is on a seam and 6psi is too much. Now holds its pressure twice as long. Returning the product.
