Kayak Test Pungo120 vs Delta 10AR

[@thepieman2742]

Good comparison though, the Delta is very unique with the hull shape, very underrated in my opinion, the Eddyline Sky10 got that small kayak market covered in the USA.

My wife was looking for a used Eddyline, but ran across the Delta first. I thinking it's a really good mix of size, weight, comfort and speed. I'm happy paddling either the Pongo or the Delta. We also have a Tucktec (folding kayak). I haven't tried that one yet. I do know my wife got frustrated with its speed, trying to keep up with the Pongo... hence the arrival of the Delta to our fleet.

I wonder why WS stopped making the ABS Pungo. :( Thanks for the comparison.

[@rustysteve8545]

I like the ABS, much lighter. It is more "fragile" (one term I've heard) so you need to be more carful moving it around or running low rivers.

Hey mate, whats the name of the roof rack cradle you loaded the red pungo onto? Cheers

[@rustysteve8545]

The red Kayak was on the Malone-SeaWings.

I could meet you with my Delta 10ar & race your Pongo lol

[@rustysteve8545]

With the Pongo slightly faster (I think with the same effort)... and me being super strong :), I'd do that race.

You're comparing the SLOWEST of all Delta's. The double haul is great for stability but totally slows down the craft. Their 12' foot Delta (not AR) smokes your 10' double haul AR.

[@rustysteve8545]

My guess was the double haul is what made it slower. Good to know that's what it is. My wife seems happy with her Delta10'AR. She's won every race she's been in with it. Well, never been in a race, so that's a little misleading:)
