Cold hands

Help...Racks too short

I figure I'm not the first to encounter this problem so any suggestions would be appreciated. I recently purchased a tandem rigged Dagger Caption and want to transport it on Thule racks mounted on my truck cap. The problem is because of the boats rocker, the gunnel hits the roof of the cab. I can't ...

Re: Curved blade versus flat blade

I replaced my Mitchell (carbon shaft and flat straght blade) with a Mitchell curved Premier (wood shaft and wood blade). I really like the paddle but frequently I feel and hear a high frequency flutter or rip under water when transitioning quickly from my offside back to onside. Has anyone else noti...

Re: Burn 3 conversion

Flotation for Dagger Atom

I was wondering if anyone had any recommendations regarding flotation for my Atom.
