The best selling whitewater kayak ev-er.

Go ahead, look it up – we’ll wait. A stable, forgiving design makes the RPM great for beginners who want a versatile river runner and intro playboat. Edgy carving performance keeps you happy and solid front and back surfs with dynamic stern squirts don’t hurt either. Comes with a thermoformed seat and adjustable backband. This one’s made for the classic paddler.

Excellent WW starter

About the reviewer


Rec & Sea kayaker, want to start WW again.

Short term ownership, too heavy for this model. Test trial only.

Review


Most has already been written, good starter, easy to roll, paddler needs to be well below the recommended weight range to effectively use it.

Conclusion


Liked it very much, looking to buy it's big brother the Max.

Review


Great boat for young people weather u like to surf or just do some river stuff its great i mostly surf and handle quite well. very easy to roll and great for learning

Conclusion



the dagger rpm is a nice looking boat which does do a good job on the waves, but now sice ive had it for about 2 years and have done my 3* i would like to maybe get a smaller boat as that dagger rpm is not great at turning on waves
