A versatile hull that turns, tracks, and forgives
01 — HULL & STABILITY

A versatile hull that turns, tracks, and forgives

The Stratos 14.5 L pairs a V-shaped hull with rounded edges and a steep rocker profile, striking the balance between day-touring efficiency and surf-zone playfulness. It rewards an engaged paddler while staying stable enough for those still building skills.

  • V-shaped hull with rounded edges for confident edging and turning
  • Steep rocker profile excels in surf, rock gardens, and open water
  • Equally at home on tidal estuaries and meandering rivers
ConTour CFS outfitting built for all-day paddling
02 — SEAT & COMFORT

ConTour CFS outfitting built for all-day paddling

Dagger's ConTour CFS seating system surrounds you with a padded, ergonomically molded seat and a fully adjustable contact system, so you stay locked in and comfortable from launch to landing.

  • Padded, ergonomically molded ConTour CFS seat
  • Adjustable backband, hip pads, and thigh braces
  • Slidelock XL adjustable foot brace system
Sealed bulkheads and dual hatches for real touring loads
03 — STORAGE & RIGGING

Sealed bulkheads and dual hatches for real touring loads

Front and rear sealed bulkheads with rubber hatch covers keep your gear dry across day trips and overnighters, while deck bungees and recessed fittings keep essentials within reach.

  • Two dry-storage compartments with sealed bow and stern bulkheads
  • Rubber hatch covers plus deck bungees for on-deck rigging
  • Recessed deck fittings and reflective perimeter safety lines
TruTrak skeg keeps you on course in wind and current
04 — TRACKING & CONTROL

TruTrak skeg keeps you on course in wind and current

A cockpit-controllable TruTrak adjustable drop-skeg lets you dial in tracking against wind and current without sacrificing the hull's natural maneuverability.

  • TruTrak adjustable drop-skeg deploys from the cockpit
  • Soft-grip carrying handles at bow and stern
  • Durable rotomolded construction for surf and rocky launches

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.
