The paddlesports retailer show is the premier event in the paddlesports world. Manufacturers congregate and show off their latest and greatest equipment and gear. Many times new gear will be revealed at the paddlesports retailer show. In the most recent show, Dagger Kayaks unveiled their newest whitewater kayak, the Rewind.
The Dagger Rewind is the newest design from Dagger Kayaks. Many have referred to it as a new and improved version of the extremely popular Dagger Axiom whitewater kayak. With its low volume stern and full volume bow, it is easy to see why these references have been made. Be sure to check out our full Dagger Rewind review, for a breakdown of everything this awesome new whitewater kayak has to offer!
Other Whitewater Kayaks At The 2019 Paddlesports Retailer Show
Dagger was not the only whitewater kayak manufacturer to release a new boat at the Paddlesports Retailer show. Verus Kayaks released a new river running playboat, that is very similar to the Rewind, called the Gladiator. Verus is still a young company and although their designs are getting better, the performance of their boats is light years behind that of Dagger Kayaks. Pyranha also debuted a new whitewater kayak at the paddlesports retailer show. Pyranha announced the Ozone which will serve as a river running playboat alongside the Ripper and the Loki. For a more detailed look at the Ozone, check out our Pyranha Ozone whitewater kayak review!
Dagger Rewind Voted Best Whitewater Kayak At Paddlesports Retailer 2019
With all these new whitewater kayaks being announced at the paddlesports retailer show this past August, the award for best whitewater kayak was even more coveted. After all the kayaks had been demoed and conclusions drawn about each design, the Dagger Rewind came out on top. The Dagger Rewind took home the hardware for best whitewater boat at the Paddlesports Retailer show. Basically the award for best whitewater boat goes to the best all around kayak in the whitewater industry. This is a great accomplishment for a new kayak. Dagger is high on this new design and believes it will be an “instant classic.” This boat seems to already be making waves in the whitewater kayaking world and it has not even been released to the public yet. Everyone is getting anxious to sit down in this boat and demo it. Hopefully the Dagger Rewind release date is sooner rather than later! The fact that this boat is already earning awards is awesome!
