Dagger Katana 9.7 Whitewater Kayak - Octane - 2016 Closeout- Discontinued Color!

Endless adventure… limitless possibilities A crossover boat that truly excels in any water, the Katana was designed to inspire confidence in the paddler with a balanced rocker profile for speed on the flat 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 9.7 is perfect for smaller paddlers, or paddlers who do not need the added storage capacity of the larger Katana 10.4.
