Think the HV version would suit you best. Im 5'9" tall and 90 Kg and probably top end for the MV. The Leo looks great would love to try one.

@@werngethin9092 .. many thanks for clarifying,helping me decide.Hopefully I'll get an HV Virgo or Leo early next year when stocks return in England.

Not a great deal to be honest. I think they are great all round boats. The latest version has a nicer skeg and more volume around the knees. The older version fits me better because of this but not a big deal. I love playing with them in the surf.

Very similar boats. The Mk1 is a Large and the Mk11 a medium but I find the newer version has a little bit more volume. Back rest is more comfortable in the Mk1 (roll top) and I prefer its foot rests to the plate in the newer version. Better skeg set up in the new version. Both are brilliant boats and you can't go wrong with them. I find them really good in the surf. Hope you get one sorted soon. All the best and thanks for your comment.

@@werngethin9092 First I want to thank you for your reply. I have Wavesport Ethos 10 now, I am looking for a 2nd crossover so I do not wear the one I have now out. I am looking at the Katana and Fusion both. Funny you talk about foot pegs and foot plate, I was thinking of the rail system foot pegs my self, 90 percent of my kayaking is Class 1/2 and exploring kayaking, running small rivers, creeks.

North West coast of Anglesey, Wales.

Delphin is a great kayak. I've never had an issue with covering distance with it. But it really comes into its own for manoeuver ability.

Thanks. It actually is very easy once you crack it. The hard part for me was to learn to submerge my head as part of the re-entry. That was mental rather than physical. I always have a nose clip handy as that helps. You need to slow things right down and avoid the temptation to try and roll up before your butt is back in the seat and feet behind the footrests. I've found this self rescue method is the fastest and works in rougher water. Its really helped my rolling as well as it forces you to slow everything down and get your paddle in the right position for a recovery sweep. Pick a nice quiet spot in the summer and practice at your own speed.

@@werngethin9092 thanks for the tip! I’m planning to learn these when I get the chance to get out!

It's the core outfitting with a non ratchet backband and foam passed full foot plate. It's ok but back support could be better.

Katana easy to roll as well. Used one in the pool. Nice boat. The 9 suited me better and I'm 5 foot 8 and 82 kg.

Alright thanks, so I’m a long time rec boater, currently use the solo argosy canoe. Just want a kayak again.

Ciekawe..jaki to jest rozmiar...

Yes always use a spraydeck.

Yes the updated version from 2018

No. The Hero 7 is waterproof down to 10 meters without a case.

Plan with the tides - flood tide up and ebb back to Barmouth. Channel can be hard to follow as it dries up to nothing outside of it.

I did swear when I saw one wave crashing towards me. Sorry about that😉

Darren Anderson it's on Anglesey between Treaddyr Bay and Rhoscolyn. You can also walk to and on it from the coastal path too.

derek perkins I would have got my hat wet or lost it!

IpadGamer TM The stabilisation was on but not much effect

derek perkins Got some high mileage on its clock now

more to come😎

Hi Darren - thanks for the nice comments. Good question! A bit random to be honest. I do get a lot of inspiration from what other people put on TH-cam and I follow interesting videos up with Google Earth. Sometimes I will do a short scouting trip to check out a new area. I find that each new adventure reveals new places to explore. It does help that I live locally and only work part time. My kayaking trips are with a local club so its the coaches who usually pick the location. Good move regards coming back here!

Darren Anderson cheers!
