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
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!
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
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!

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
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.
I'm interested in both learning about chine, and Delta kayaks! Great video. Thanks
Justin if you have questions about either, feel free to reach out. BrettATadventureOtaku.com

Tell her I said thank you! Sometimes there is something to be said for simplicity.
Came here just to learn how to pronounce 'chine' for a podcast episode... leaving with a strong desire to kayak. Awesome video!
Thank you! That is my goal, to get people paddling. Safely, and having great adventures. Let me know if I can help.
Thanks Now to practice holding the edge
You’re welcome! Yeah, holding the edge is important for turning. And correcting course in cross winds. Take it slow.
Good video for kayaking terminology (i.e. chines). Quickly forget that after I purchase a new kayak..
Well I think then to keep your terminology straight you need to keep buying boats!

What kind of boat was it? But for sure there is all sorts of variation.
What type of boat is more stable? hard or soft chine kayaks
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!
so whats a chine? the sides?
It’s the edge, where the side of the boat meets the bottom of the boat
