Charge hard whitewater, then play your way down
01 — HULL & ROCKER

Charge hard whitewater, then play your way down

The Rewind pairs ample bow volume with strong rocker so it skips up and over big features while holding speed and a clean line. Softer edges shed water for confident running of steeper, creekier rivers from Class II to Class V.

  • High bow volume and rocker to skip over and through big features
  • Low-volume slicey stern for squirts, splats and eddyline play
  • Responsive, forgiving hull that any ability level can run
Locked-in connection with Contour Ergo outfitting
02 — SEAT & COMFORT

Locked-in connection with Contour Ergo outfitting

Dagger's roto-molded seat with Contour Ergo outfitting puts you in command of the boat. Ratcheting leg-lifter and backband adjustments dial in support and control for long days on the water.

  • Roto-molded seat with Contour Ergo outfitting
  • Ratcheting leg-lifter and adjustable backband
  • Hip pads for a secure, custom fit
Adjustable contact points and built-in safety
03 — FIT & SAFETY

Adjustable contact points and built-in safety

Dial in your contact with adjustable thigh braces and a bulkhead foot brace with foam padding. A step-out center wall and multiple grab handles add safety and confidence in pushy water.

  • Adjustable thigh braces and bulkhead foot brace with foam padding
  • Step-out center wall for safer exits
  • Security grab handles bow and stern
Tough HDPE build for years of abuse
04 — DURABILITY

Tough HDPE build for years of abuse

Constructed from high-density polyethylene for stiffness, durability and impact resistance, the Rewind is built to take repeated hits and keep paddling. The Medium fits paddlers from 140 to 220 lbs.

Got my wife's first kayak here and the guys were super helpful and friendly. Immediately welcoming and inviting — I can't wait to go back and browse their large inventory of kayaks and gear. Thank y'all for making our experience awesome!

So pleased with my Recon 120HD! Even though they're 2 hours away I had my kayak shipped to me. The packing was great and I received it undamaged. They were super helpful over the phone answering all my questions while I chose which kayak I wanted. Awesome company!

I bought my first kayak (I'm 61) thanks to Parker's education and patience. He spent two hours with me and even after the sale continued to patiently answer my many questions and offer advice. I was completely at ease and enjoyed the whole experience.

The Mecca of anything kayaking and kayak fishing! I ordered a new kayak from their website and they had it ready and waiting when I got there. Very friendly and helpful staff, and the largest inventory of kayak accessories anywhere around.

Bought a great Nova Craft canoe here — a 3–4 hour drive from home but well worth it. It took them about 5 minutes to load it and strap it on my car and I was gone.

The Dagger Rewind is the worthy successor to the beloved Axiom — and it delivers. With ample bow volume and a modern rocker profile, the Rewind skips up and over big features while maintaining speed and agility. Its playful yet capable hull is responsive and easy to maneuver, but can still hold a line in tough whitewater. From Class II to Class V, any ability level can appreciate and have fun in this boat. Pair that with Dagger’s industry-leading Contour Ergo outfitting and StepOut safety wall, and you’ve got a new whitewater icon. The Rewind may just become your one-boat quiver.
