The 7'-9" Encore Hybrid C1/OC1 will be the first boat out of the mold by April 12th. Pictures and video to follow.

Re: Dagger Whitewater Canoes are coming BACK
I suggest some Dagger related boat names. No more stuff like "Rival" that sounds like pooch food, or "Genesis" that forces biblical concepts on hapless paddlers. How about...

What's Scarborough up to these days, anyway?

Re: Dagger Whitewater Canoes are coming BACK
Now I am really confused. I received a press release today from Jackson Kayaks stating they were very happy to be welcoming Craig to their design team and further went on to state how excited they were of the opportunity to merge the Worlds Best kayaks with Open boat design with hopes of furthering paddle sport designing a sit on top c-1 complete with solar charger bilge pump.
Way to go go Craig, Can I get in on the pre-order?

Re: Dagger Whitewater Canoes are coming BACK
If the new Encore is half as long will it paddle half as bad? If so, sign me up.

WHAT DAY IS IT ????? and I believe it is spelled L'edgened
Re: Dagger Whitewater Canoes are coming BACK
A tale about how a canadian shortage on canoe specific plastic and new trade resrictions on raw materials will result in all immediate future esquifs being molded in pink, would be funny. Teasing us with a new line of boats is just mean. 
Re: Dagger Whitewater Canoes are coming BACK
Does this mean we're gonna be getting those chrome-hulled boats now?
