Dagger Stratos 14.5S

A kayak that handles rock gardens and coastal surf as confidently as it tracks across a calm lake is a rare thing. The Dagger Stratos 14.5S is built to be that boat.

At 14.5 feet, the Stratos sits in a sweet spot between day touring efficiency and surf kayak playfulness. The sporty hull rewards paddlers who want to engage with the water rather than just cross it, while still offering the stability and forgiveness that makes it approachable for newer paddlers. It's equally at home on a flatwater river day trip, a multi-day touring route along the Canadian Shield, or a session picking through coastal rock gardens and reading swell.

The standard feature set is well thought out for a kayak at this level. The TruTrak adjustable skeg system helps you manage tracking in crosswinds and currents without fighting your paddle stroke. ConTour CFS seating, adjustable padded thigh braces, and SlideLock XL foot braces give you a fit you can actually dial in, while bow and stern bulkheads keep your gear dry and the boat afloat if you swim. Bungee deck rigging handles on-deck storage for the essentials.
