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.

Trusted as the world’s ultimate creeker, the Nomad is the kayak of choice by both record holders and high-five fanatics. Experience whitewater the way it was meant to be experienced.

With great speed, rock-solid stability, easy rolling and the ability to turn on a dime, it handles big water rapids or downriver bombing with ease. Push your limits with assurance from six safety attachment points, a step-out wall, and rapid resurfacing.

nomad seriesTake a deep breath. Now go for it. Experience the stunning, remote locations thought to exist only in pictures. Challenge nature and navigate the rushing river. It’s not for everyone. But you’re not “everyone.” Not just for kayaking daredevils, creeking is perfect for any explorer who wants to do more than test the waters. From the multi-day river trek to Class IV and V rapids, Dagger is the industry standard for those never satisfied with standing still.

maintaining its hallmark predictability. Rocker breaks and profile are engineered for speed and crisp carving, yet offer easy edging with solid stability. Newly integrated foam wall holder boosts structural integrity, making this ultra-popular river runner series the most versatile, rock-solid creeker in its class.

“The Green Boat allows me to race without thinking about how my kayak is going to act. It's fast when I want it to be but easy to keep on line, which makes it the best of all worlds.”

Andrew Holcombe, Two-Time Green River Narrows Race Champion

mamba series

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.

“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.“

"Snowy" Robertson,Dagger Designer

agent series

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.

This is what Adventure Rec kayaking is all about - putting yourself in command whether you're flat-water cruising or paddling moving rivers and inlets. The new, compact

Zydeco design has been completely overhauled for added maneuverability, faster acceleration, and more stability. Now with premium outfitting and available in two sizes, the redesigned Zydeco 9.0 and all new Zydeco 11.0 has more speed, storage capacity and stability than ever.
