This is by far the best all puto it se kayak I have ever owned. I’ve had it out in class 3 whitewater,, it is very manoeuvrable, turns quickly and yet stable. The high bow is great for stoping a lot of water from enter the boat. I’ve also taken it out knot open water, in 4 foot swells, I just released the stop down skeg and paddles through those swells with no issue at all. It handled itself in open water almost as good as a 14foot sea kayak. It’s fast in open calm water and easily capable of handling an overnight trip with the very roomy waterproof stern bulkhead. Now to the seat, it has all the comfort and adjustability one has come to expect from Dagger. This has become my go-to kayak. Thank you Dagger for putting out such a great product!!!
