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 Dagger Katana 9.7 Kayak is perfect for smaller paddlers or paddlers who do not need the added storage capacity of the larger model.SpecificationsLength: 9′ 7″ / 292 cmWidth: 25.75″ / 65 cmBoat Weight: 50 lbs. / 23 kgDeck Height: 13.5″ / 34 cmCockpit Length: 35.5″ / 90 cmCockpit Width: 20″ / 51 cmVolume: 79 gal / 299 LPaddler Weight: 100 – 210 lbs. / 45 – 95 kgFeaturesContour Ergo OutfittingRatchet Adjustable BackbandRoto Molded Seating with Leg LifterAdjustable Slim Profile Roto Molded PlatePrecision Adjustable Thigh BracesMulti-Adjustable, ConTour Hip PadsComfort Carry HandlesTruTrak Adjustable Skeg SystemStern HatchStern BulkheadRoto Molded Storage Wall with Soft Case Gear Bag Bungee Deck RiggingBungee Deck Rigging Video
