Some call it an active lifestyle. We prefer to call it inspired. Not merely on the move, but
looking for adventure. It’s this shared passion that is the core of every Dagger kayak. Break
away from a world where limits seem to be around every corner. We’re here to reveal the
places without them. From the mountains to the sea; and everywhere in between.
Dagger’s whitewater roots in performance and responsiveness forge an exhilarating
experience into the entire lineup. That’s why we’re trusted for top adventures and expeditions
throughout the world, but most importantly the ones in your own backyard.
Team Tested. Paddler Proven.
Our heritage of classic kayak designs is celebrated by paddlers from the casual to the
competitor. It’s born from an understanding of the space between the drawing board and the
hull hitting the water. Our integrated R&D process ensures every boat meets the standards of
the design team and passes the punishment of Team Dagger.
With a history of record-breaking first descents and a growing tower of competition trophies
and medals, Team Tested approval doesn’t come easy. We’ve got the scars to prove it.
Most importantly, no design gets the Dagger stamp unless it's as exciting to talk about the
experience as it was to live it.

Get ready for true freedom with one of the most dynamic playboats on the whitewater market
today. Push 360 degrees of possibility and surf the horizontal limits, or go huge with insane
front flips or cartwheels. Agile with low volume, you won't just defy the laws of gravity. You'll define them.
FREESTYLE
Sure, there was a time when surfing and pulling tricks
was for the experts. But today, innovative designs have
opened up the thrilling experience that is park, play,
and owning the wave to anyone. Whether it’s a bit of
surfing and spinning or defying gravity with massive air
moves, Dagger invites all those who come to play.
“Poppy boost for aerial moves, dynamic surfing and carving and great volume distribution,
we’ve put it all in there. The Agent truly takes the “free” in freestyle to heart.“

Dagger Designer

surf and play experience that must be paddled to be believed. With smooth edge transitions,
effortless wave catching, a balanced volume distribution for resurfacing and even 3D play move potential, this amazing all-arounder
is the only boat you’ll need for those truly rousing whitewater outings.
FREE RUNNING
You’re demanding. You want the total whitewater
experience and you want it in one boat.
Whatever strikes you at any given moment. The
ability to cruise, river run, or surf and do it well.
Not everyone can pursue it all, but for those who
can, they trust a Dagger to do it with them.
“…a boat that paddles like a river runner with the fat trimmed
off and surfs like a playboat with nitrous in the trunk.”

There’s no better way to get out and enjoy the water than
in an ultra-accessible Dagger recreational kayak. Pencil in
a last-minute beach trip and experience more than just the
towel. Or explore the lakes and waterways nearby in a way
you never have before. Get your gear together, toss your
Dagger on the roof and take a break from “usual.”
We call Dagger’s recreational kayaks “Adventure Rec”, and the sleek
Zydecos make it clear why. Anyone can paddle it, but the difference
is that you’ll enjoy the experience, be able to push yourself and it will
actually spend more time on the water than in the garage!

Performance Fit System (PFS) 2.0
Comfort Fit System (CFS and CFS-R)
TruTrak SKEG System
Get a lighter, stronger, and more bomb-proof whitewater boat with
this innovative and intuitive outfitting system. The PFS 2.0 system is
streamlined for reduced weight and comfort, allowing you to push the
edge of performance, not the pain. Multiple tool-less adjustments also
allow you to leave the wrenches and screwdrivers back at home.
The Comfort Fit System (CFS) combines the proven technical capabilities
of whitewater outfitting with the comfort of a soft foam touring design.
Now paddlers of all abilities can customize their kayak for a perfect fit
based on their needs.
Dagger kayaks are designed for a range of paddlers
and environments. On select crossover and touring
kayaks, our innovative TruTrak system features a builtin drop skeg that gives you the control to push the
boundaries of traditional category performance.
Whitewater PFS 2.0 outfitting comes in a variety of configurations
depending on which conditions and performance features a kayak is
geared towards, whether it’s hardcore creeking, freestyle playboating,
or a little bit of both on the same trip.
All PFS 2.0 outfitting systems include:
- Ratchet adjustable backband
- Multi-adjustable hip pads
- Precision adjustable thigh braces
- 4-point adjustment
- Security grab handles
PFS 2.0 Outfitting for creeking models
Withstands more high-impact paddling with additional rugged, yet
comfortable features:
- Adjustable tank style, rotomolded creek seat
- Safety step-out wall
- Adjustable bulkhead with foam padding
Features
- Large, ergonomic floating backband
- Quick release backband adjustment
- Soft foam seat padding
- Adjustable comfort control hip pads
- Patented SlideLock™ foot braces
- Soft Touch handle
- Leg Lifter
Performance Fit System (PFS) 2.0
Our high-quality skeg adds minimal weight but
brings major control on demand. A height-adjustable
skeg maintains balance with the bow and stern
to keep your kayak on course with the changes in
environment.
Performance and reliability have been bolstered in
the TruTrak system for 2011. Durable construction
and hydrofoil shape offer more efficient water
mending for an overall improved paddling
performance when deployed. The system enclosure
has also been reengineered for long-term durability,
with the blade housing design now being easier to
