Let me start by saying, I am a beginner avid kayaker. My boyfriend has been into it for years, and his passion is now mine. The Dagger Agent 6.2 is an awesome little play boat. We take it out to our play spot on some nice little class 1-2s and play for hours at a time. It is great to learn rolls in! He doesn't like it on longer paddling trips, because it is a bit small for lengthy trips. I; however, love it for all day trips. It of course doesn't track well on flat water, but it isn't made for that anyway. Just takes a bit more paddling on lengths of flat water.
