Are you ready to take your skills to the next level? The Delta 16 kayak with rudder offers a finely tuned hull design and well-placed storage, perfect for that tour you've been dreaming about. Sweet!

Features

  • Thermoformed ABS plastic hull material is stiff and light like traditional composite kayaks and offers similar looks, but costs considerably less
  • Long waterline, soft chine and concave sidewall create a kayak that instantly responds to your intentions
  • Cockpit of the 16 is 2 in. narrower than other Delta models, resulting in a close-fitting, performance fit and feel
  • Seat is adjustable 4 in. forward and backward even while paddling, so the trim of the kayak can be adjusted on the move
  • Neoprene-padded seat and adjustable back band offer comfort and support on long trips; neoprene padding on leg bracing in the cockpit improves comfort and control
  • Cockpit-adjustable footbraces fit most paddlers and integrated thighbraces increase overall comfort
  • Cockpit-deployable rudder enhances tracking in rough water and windy conditions; control the rudder with the footbraces
  • 3 storage areas provide ample space for every accoutrement: 2 main dry storage areas and a fore day hatch are placed within easy reach
  • Day hatch features a specially sized pod glued to underside of deck
  • Redesigned hatch covers create a watertight seal with a specially designed gasket that envelops the rim of the hatch; secures with 4.5 turns
  • Bungee deck rigging at bow and stern retains extra gear; safety straps aft of cockpit and nylon perimeter lines aid in paddle float self-rescue
  • The Delta 16 kayak with rudder features ergonomic, rubber grab handles that are very easy on tired hands
