Features

Skeg System: All kayak models in the Delta Performance Touring category come with the option of our Spring Loaded Skeg System. This skeg system is simple to deploy and features a kink-free operation. The skeg line is housed in a tube and tucked away under-deck so it reduces the chance of snagging when loading and unloading gear. As a note, a skeg can be deployed at different increments so the paddler can determine the amount of aid in tracking needed. A skeg does not move side to side so it will not aid in steering the boat. If you would like a steering aid, you can request a rudder as an option.

Dual Density Grab Handles: Location on the bow and stern these handles are ergonomic & easy on the hands.

Paddle Park: Convenient system allows paddler to secure paddle blade while rehydrating, taking a picture or having lunch.
