Testing the new Dagger Stratos sea/touring kayak in some small surf on the west coast of Ireland. Conditions- 3ft surf with light cross wind. Great kayak check out the full review here: www.paddleandpedal.ie/blog/dag... www.dhkayaking.com
Does the Stratos surf better than a Valley Gemini SP? Just had a surf course and the Gemini nearly always broaches. I'm looking for something more forgiving and use as a rock garden boat also?
Just bought one of these but the L, looking forward to getting some surf on but hoping for a little warmer weather soon. Question: Is the Dagger logo a stylized kayak and paddle, or a kayak doing a stern squirt?
David Horkan It will be mainly what you were at in this video riding 3/4 waves, having fun in the surf zone. Messing around in rock gardens and some close coastal paddling.. But by and large I'd say 90% in the Sea..
I have a Stratos 14.5L. I can say that it's not quite as fast as some of the other 14 footers out there. However, what it lacks in speed (not too much) it makes up for in Maneuverability. Hands down. Can turn on a dime with the skeg up.
