Beginners Guide to Recreational Kayak Gear
The Dagger Stratos 14.5S Kayak is designed to excel in surf, rock gardens, and open water paddling, but just at home on tidal estuaries and meandering rivers. The Dagger Stratos 14.5S Kayak is the perfect balance of tracking, maneuverability, and forgiveness.
Beginners will love the stability and forgiveness, while intermediate and expert paddlers will find that the Dagger Stratos 14.5S Kayak sporty hull is fast and maneuverable on any adventure. An adjustable drop-skeg aids tracking, and with two hatches, bulkheads, and deck bungees, gear storage has never been easier. Perfect for multi-day touring adventures, and just as capable for a day trip to your favorite rock garden or surf spot, the Stratos is a do-it-all kayak that stays with you on every step of your journey.
The 14.5 S is a bit smaller for smaller paddlers.
