Be warned, technical kayak mumbo jumbo in this video. By entering here you head down a path of thinking way too much about how one kayak paddles compared to another. You will never look at kayaks the same way again.
Also! Stick around to the end, there is bonus content on how Thermoformed kayaks are designed. Again, way more technical nonsense than most people want.
I created a 16 page PDF with hundreds of tips for playing and working in the outdoors! They are called The Guides Way and you can get them here. ko-fi.com/adve...

Just ordered a delta 17 today after watching a few of your videos. I'll be taking it 340 miles down the Missouri in July

@AdventureOtaku 5 месяцев назад

The delta will do it. I did around that many miles in my delta from Ketchikan to Skagway and did it without resupplying. Have an amazing trip.

@jheidema91 2 года назад

I'm interested in both learning about chine, and Delta kayaks! Great video. Thanks

@AdventureOtaku 2 года назад

Justin if you have questions about either, feel free to reach out. BrettATadventureOtaku.com

I'm quite new to kayaking, like months into it, and this lines up with my experiences with the several used kayaks I have bought to get a feel for their differences. This is a very nice concise explanation I can use when describing the differences between the boats to my partner. Thanks

@AdventureOtaku Год назад

Thank you! Im glad you found it helpful! Thanks for stopping by!

@beyondthebreakerspod 2 года назад

Came here just to learn how to pronounce 'chine' for a podcast episode... leaving with a strong desire to kayak. Awesome video!

@AdventureOtaku 2 года назад

Thank you! That is my goal, to get people paddling. Safely, and having great adventures. Let me know if I can help.

@nielskistrup8231 2 года назад

Good video for kayaking terminology (i.e. chines). Quickly forget that after I purchase a new kayak..

@AdventureOtaku 2 года назад

Well I think then to keep your terminology straight you need to keep buying boats!

@garyramsdale9340 Год назад

Thanks Now to practice holding the edge

@AdventureOtaku Год назад

You’re welcome! Yeah, holding the edge is important for turning. And correcting course in cross winds. Take it slow.

@n-da-bunka2650 4 месяца назад

Viewers should keep in mind that different thermoformed boats have thicker sides/walls than others so not all thermoformed are equal! The top of my non-Delta thermoformed yak is not anywhere NEARLY as flexible as what you showed in this video

@AdventureOtaku 4 месяца назад

What kind of boat was it? But for sure there is all sorts of variation.

@TexasBarnRats 2 года назад

My wife is a Naval Architect, but I couldn't understand her explanation of chine. In contrast, I understood yours. She says you are very correct and approves of your tree-top level explanation...LOL!

@AdventureOtaku 2 года назад

Tell her I said thank you! Sometimes there is something to be said for simplicity.

What type of boat is more stable? hard or soft chine kayaks

@AdventureOtaku 3 года назад

In its simplest form, the hard chine is more stable, but it is really a much more complex question than that, because it gets into primary and secondary stability, boat width, etc... I need to do a video on stability!
