Reply To: comparing kayaks for smaller paddlers – ndk & delta?

I have a Delta 16, which I have had probably 4 years. I got it because I was renting and during the pandemic it was hard to do rentals. As was previously mentioned it sort of depends what type of paddling you plan to do. I do day & multi-day trips and it has large hatches to put lots of gear in. The cockpit is pretty big & for smaller paddlers you might want thigh padding for a better fit. The price is good & you will see a fair amount of club members with the 16. Delta is in Maple Ridge so if you ever need repairs this can be handy. If you can try one then that may help in your decision. Some of the rental places may have them or Western Canoe & Kayak may be a dealer. Good Luck
