Which is Best for Lakes: Recreational or Touring Kayak?
Beginners Guide to Recreational Kayak Gear
The Dagger Katana 10.4 Kayak is a crossover kayak that truly excels in any water. Designed to inspire confidence in the paddler with a balanced rocker profile for speed in the flats and maneuverability in whitewater, the hull is designed for initial stability while the beveled and flared side-walls create secondary stability. The rounded stern deck shape, taken from the Mamba design, sheds water easily, making it forgiving in moving water. The Katana also offers a more spacious cockpit than traditional whitewater designs for a less confining feeling. Removable bulkheads and reinforced hatches offer unparalleled gear storage, while the drop skeg adds speed and stability.
The Dagger Katana 10.4 is suited for larger paddlers or for paddlers who need additional storage for longer adventures.
