      Comments about Dagger Zydeco 9.0 Kayak:

      I have many white water kayaks and an old 12 foot wilderness systems Pungo. I was sick of stuffing myself into a whitewater boat every time I brought a guest. I bought a Dagger zydeco at REI in Framingham after careful reviews. I tried it the next day on a calm water paddle with my some friends. This boat exceeded my expectations. It tracks well, is fast enough and can hold a surprising amount of gear. My girlfriend tried it on the return trip and refuses to give it up. I ordered another one 2 hours after I got home. The poor old Pungo will be carted out for trout fishing only now. Get this boat!

      Comments about Dagger Zydeco 9.0 Kayak:

      This is good boat for the price I have used it for some class II rapids and a 12.5 mile float down the red river and handled for both and it paddles better than one would think for a short boat on flat water.

      Comments about Dagger Zydeco 9.0 Kayak:

      I used this kayak for a 5 day trip on the Mississippi. It cut through waves like butter. The only complant would be exiting and entering the kayak is unstable. This is because the shape of the hull, although this shape gives the kayak the function to cut through waves like butter. I love this kayak and it's price.
