The Dagger RPM was my very first kayak and it has not let me down! Ive had it now for almost 6 years and from learning the basics to taking on my first class three rapids the RPM did not disapoint. I would recomend it even as a beginer because it is a relatively managable size and easy to roll over. i recommend this boat to anyone whos looking to learn and have some fun while they're at it because this kayak is a gem!
