Dagger - Supernova Whitewater Kayak

The Dagger Nova and Supernova are the ultimate full-slice whitewater kayaks built for paddlers who want to surf, spin, stern squirt, and slice every feature on the river. Inspired by the iconic slicey playboats of the late 1990s and early 2000s, these modern play machines blend classic downriver play performance with today’s advanced outfitting and comfort.

Designed in two sizes to match different paddler weight ranges, the Nova and Supernova deliver responsive handling, effortless stern squirts, and playful river-running performance. Whether you're learning your first downriver tricks or dialing in advanced freestyle moves, these kayaks bring endless fun to every rapid.
