Dagger Demo Boats
This is a list of Dagger Kayak models and sizes that we currently offer for demo.
Demo kayaks are first come, first serve. They cannot be reserved ahead. You must have class II-III whitewater kayaking experience, a reliable combat roll, and your own gear in order to demo. Demo boats may only be taken on the lower Nantahala River or the lake nearby. Demo boats may not be paddled past the play hole just downstream from the Outfitter's Store.

Loose, playful, and confidence-inspiring, it’s the kind of boat that can turn even mellow runs into a freestyle session.

This is the boat that lets you push your skills while still having a blast.
