Delta Kayaks 12.10

The Delta 12.10 kayak, the larger brother of the smaller Delta 12s, is one amazing touring kayak, but how do we classify it? Do we call it a SUPER Rec. (Recreational) kayak due to its rare combination of inherent ability, dry storage, stability, and outstanding versatility? OR, do we refer to it as the Ultimate Sea Kayak Trainer as it handles big water so comfortably and has all the features one normally finds only on longer, more expensive sea kayaks?

The Delta 12.10 kayak now comes equipped with Delta Kayaks' innovative Contour Seat System. This seat provides simple adjustability forward and aft both on and off the water giving you the right fit every time! The contour seat system includes additional padding for even more comfort out on the water!

The 12.10 also features Delta's easy to use Press-Lock Hatch Covers bow and stern and now comes standard with a convenient Low Profile Centre Day Pod! The full-bodied design, moderate rocker, and flared bow of the Delta 12.10 kayak provides great lift for surprising efficiency in big waters and surf.

The 12.10's moderate vee hull and multi-chined sides ensure super stable performance and predictability in rough waters. The defined lines created by this hull design provide enhanced tracking as well, which is seldom found in kayaks of this length. The 12.10 really is the 'little boat that could'!

The Delta 12.10 kayak also performs incredibility well during re-entries and assisted rescues. The generous-sized cockpit makes getting in and out on the water a cinch, while the stern bulkhead is curved to maximize strength and for easy drainage after an upset. That’s why we make a rare exception and allow it in our Paddle Canada Certified full day and multi-day sea kayak courses.

Note: To make solo re-entries even easier, we recommend having our expert staff install Quick Release Self Rescue Straps ($69.95 with FREE installation).

"The Delta 12.10 kayak satisfies a very wide range of paddlers 145 to 250 lbs seeking a higher level of performance in a smaller, lightweight 41 lb., quality package. It vastly outperforming everything in its category as it’s an extremely capable, fully outfitted touring kayak that will handle virtually every paddling condition. No wonder the 12.10 has been one of our top selling kayaks out of over 100 model choices year after year!"
