Dagger Nomad Kayak - New Style (Newmad) Creek Kayak - Red - Size Medium (8.6)

This is the later version of the legendary Dagger Nomad - improved and redesigned and commonly referred to as the "Newmad". This is the Medium 8.6 model in red. The new Dagger Nomad delivers on the performance & predictability for which the Nomad has always been renowned but Dagger did an amazing job of treading the fine line of not breaking anything that didn’t need fixing but at the same time refining what they could to create true perfection. The Rocker profile was tweaked by adding more rocker in the bow to keep the Nomad on the surface over holes and coming off drops. Lowering the stern rocker and flattening out through the tail helps push the boat out from drops and to carry speed away.

The volume has also been increased the entire new Nomad range but without any significant increase in width.The new Dagger Nomad includes Dagger’s contour ergo outfitting system to ensure maximum contact, control & comfort. Other features include s tank style roto-moulded seat for maximum strength, step-out moulded front pillar and as new features for the new Nomad an anchored rear pillar and additional front safety handle. Nomads are used by expedition paddlers the world over and by those with a passion for the big, steep rivers but are also one of the safest and most forgiving creek boats available so suitable for paddlers at all levels looking for a confidence giving boat to help them to the next level. I bought this when having a bit of a confidence crisis so if that sounds like you then this is the boat for you or if you are here because you searched for a Nomad or like to push the boundaries then you probably know what a great boat this is. The boat is used but sound and has all the "river rash" you would expect from a boat that that has been some great adventures in the UK and abroad.

The outfitting and rachets are all good.
