Up in Northern Wisconsin we have a small livery business on the Bois Brule. Renting to over 10k customers a year we have tried almost every type of canoe and kayak on the market, beginning in 1962. To our great satisfaction, we were lucky enough to come across the Dagger Axis 10'6 and 12'. Our best rental recreational boat we have rented both versatile and simple, easy to adjust foot braces, hatches etc. We haven't seen a hole in one yet, and started renting in 2012. Our only complaint is broken foot braces on almost every kayak we have, but fairly easy to repair.
Current Design Solaro is comparable but much heavier.
