![]() ![]() The seat only supports your lower back and supplies almost no mid support. Next would be the seat, I had to add foam for added back support. Not a problem since its easy to swap out the few bolts for a higher grade marine stainless. The only other grips I have are the stainless steel hardware have some slight rust/corrosion since my boat spends most of its time in salt water. Hopefully by now they have corrected the small problem, because its rather a moot point because all kayaks end up with scrapes on them. The blemishes you could tell where made from manufacture, I checked the date made and it was made almost a full 2 years ago. The kayak is a well made kayak for the most part, there were a few cosmetic blemishes for it being a new kayak. I have had my Kayak for a while now and use it for ocean/inlet/whitewater. ![]() I can go from flat water to playing in class III to ClassIV without a problem and recently had it on a few class V without problem, although it did flood the back hatch area as the cover is not exactly tight enough for that kind of pressure and volume of water pounding on it. I upped my rating from a 7 to an 8 just because of the fact that this is one of the best cross over boats on the market and perfect for teaching novice paddlers. I have taught over 10 people how to kayak in my approach all complained about the seat till they learned proper form and paddle technique. The seat back in it is made for a high stance and proper form in the boat so the complaint of the seat back goes away if you learn the proper sitting stance for the boat. ![]() Many of the complaints I have seen in the reviews are things that simple modification can rectify. I changed the footpegs out and put in a wider peg just because I have big feet. I still have a second seatback I change out when I am on flat water or not going to be in fast water. I made a few changes to the seat in the beginning but since have changed then back because of the type of water I use it on. I have had my Dagger now for close to 2 years and would not trade it for anything. ![]()
