Dagger Kayaks – Just when you think its safe to go into the water

Here at Herefordshire and Borders Canoes and Kayaks, or HB Canoes as it is quite often called, We stock large numbers of boats. We have them from all the main manufacturers such as Big Dog, Pyranha, liquid logic, perception, feel free, venture, ocean kayak, Necky, old town, mad river, we no nah. This list can keep on going. However this week I want to mention Dagger Kayaks. A very well known brand in the kayaking world. Dagger are a very large company with factories both here and in the states. Our British factory has molds to most of the dagger range meaning not many of them have to be imported, which means most of their range is very well priced and normally in stock.

They have kayaks for absolutely anything, sea kayaking – exodus or Alchemy. River touring and Light sea paddling – Charleston. Rivers, lakes, estuaries and inland coastal meandering – The Blackwater 10.5 and Tandem as well as the Axis. For the kids there is the Dynamo and axiom, great WW and surf boats as well as for learning. River Running and surfing – GT Series, Axiom, Redline. Playboating – Kingpin, G force and Agent Then for the more hardcore Whitewater there is the Nomad and Mamba. By no means is this the full range, rather a good over view of how they cover all types of kayaking.

To see what else they offer or for more info check out our page at Dagger Kayaks.
