Delta 10AR
Delta 10AR Description
This lightweight 10-footer brings a whole new level of performance to the world of recreational kayaks. Its remarkable quickness and stability come courtesy of our proprietary Fusion Hull technology, which combines the best features of two proven concepts (quiet and predictable V shapes and ultra-steady catamaran hulls) to deliver stable performance without the excessive width of most recreational kayaks. The result is an excellent kayak for fishing and photography that’s small and light enough to take almost anywhere, or station on the deck of larger craft.

My wife and I have been avid kayakers for years, we generally paddle small to medium rivers, lakes streams with a trip to bigger waters when the wind permits. I am in my late 60's , my wife isn't far behind. We were looking for a shorter lighter boat for trips we knew we had to portage and deal with beaver dams as we were finding our 14 ft 60 lb kayaks were getting hard to handle at times. The only truly light weight boat available to us was the delta. We decided on the 10ar which we have used this 2022 season. Overall I think the kayak will withstand all the dams and portaging we deal with ( although we find topside these boats may scratch easily ) At 37 lbs they are easy for us to handle. Cockpit is a good size, stable entry/exit. Seat is adequate ,we like the storage pod, easy to reach deck straps, rear dry compartment is a good size. Tracking is fair at best in our opinion ,can be a struggle to keep this boat going straight at times . ( we realize we are paddling a shorter boat) But out biggest complaint is all the noise . Over 4 kph, the 10ar plows into the water which rolls up the bow, splashes off to the side leaving a trail of air bubbles in it's wake. All the noisy water displacement ruins the paddling experience for us . We did not expect this kind of barge like performance from an expensive kayak as the delta.

It is cherry gloss red and appears inspired by formula one racing. It’s lighter than any of my friend’s kayaks making it easy to hoist onto the car, even with an arthritic shoulder. In the after, she’s comfortable , tracks straight and has ample storage. One issue: the cord holding my seat erect snapped on my first paddle. I’m 5’9” and 175lb. Having a single thin cord holding up the seat —while readily adjustable, —bad idea. In all, though, I adore this craft.
