Dagger Receives Top Industry Honor for Whitewater Performance Innovation
This prestigious recognition highlights Dagger’s continued commitment to innovation, performance, and progression in whitewater kayak design.
“The Code represents a new era of whitewater performance,” said Scott Byers, designer for Dagger. “Our goal was to create a kayak that delivers speed, control, and confidence in big water while remaining accessible to paddlers looking to push their limits. Winning this award confirms that the Code delivers on that promise.”
Designed for Modern Whitewater
The Dagger Code was engineered to meet the demands of today’s whitewater paddlers, excelling in big water, steep creeks, and high-performance river running. Its longer, faster hull profile provides exceptional speed and glide, while maintaining the maneuverability needed to react quickly in technical conditions.
Key features that set the Code apart include:
- Fast, progressive hull design for speed and smooth acceleration
- Balanced rocker profile for control in steep and powerful whitewater
- Forgiving edges and predictable handling that inspire confidence
- Premium outfitting system with adjustable seat, backband, and thigh braces for comfort and precise control
- Durable rotomolded construction built to handle demanding whitewater environments
The result is a kayak that feels powerful yet composed, allowing paddlers to maintain momentum through challenging rapids while staying connected and in control.
Built for Progression
Whether charging big-volume rivers or refining technique on technical runs, the Dagger Code empowers paddlers to paddle harder, faster, and with greater confidence. Its versatility makes it a go-to choice for experienced paddlers while remaining approachable for those stepping into higher-performance whitewater boats.
With the Code, Dagger continues its tradition of building kayaks that help paddlers progress and unlock new possibilities on the river.
