Delta Kayaks 12S

Lightweight Touring Kayak for Smaller Paddlers

The Delta Kayaks 12S is a premium touring kayak designed for paddlers who appreciate quality construction, minimal weight and nimble performance. The "S" in the name stands for "small," and the kayak's proportions reflect this, with it being aimed at medium to smaller builder paddlers. With a length of 3.65m (12ft) and a beam of 61cm (24"), the Delta Kayaks 12S provides a stable, manoeuvrable and efficient platform, ideal for exploring calm lakes, winding rivers, and protected coastal waters.

One of the standout features of the Delta Kayaks 12S is its thermoformed ABS construction. This advanced manufacturing process results in a kayak that is significantly lighter than traditional rotomolded polyethylene kayaks, yet still incredibly durable. The thermoformed ABS material offers a high-gloss finish that resists scratches and UV damage, ensuring the kayak functions and maintains its appearance for years to come. 

The lightweight nature of the 12S, weighing in at just 18.1kg (40lb), makes it exceptionally easy to transport, whether you're loading it onto a roof rack or carrying it to the water's edge. This focus on premium, lightweight materials is what sets Delta Kayaks apart and makes the 12S a joy to paddle.

Beyond its construction, the Delta 12S is thoughtfully designed with a paddler's comfort and convenience in mind. The kayak features a comfortable and adjustable seat with a high backrest, providing excellent lumbar support for longer journeys. It also includes two sealed bulkheads with generous storage hatches, offering ample space for gear and supplies. The front and rear bungee rigging further expands your storage options. 

With its combination of lightweight premium construction, efficient hull design, and well-appointed features, the Delta 12S is a top-tier touring kayak that delivers a superior paddling experience for a variety of adventures.
