The CKS staff's general consensus for the new Dagger Agent 6.2 one thumb up and one thumb down. Dagger seems to have done a great job of taking the best features of many play boats from the past, and melding them together to come up with a slicey, well balanced freestyle kayak that is the most comfortable in a hole (and not on a wave).
The Specs:
Length - 6'2"
Width - 25"
Cockpit Dimensions - 34" x 18.75" (Large Deck Size)
Volume - 50 gallons
Boat Weight - 30.5 lbs.
Max. Inseam - 34"
Max. Foot Size - 12
Paddler weight range: Overall 125-190 lbs.
Outfitting: The Agent is well outfitted. The hip pads adjust easily and the backband stays tight and stiff. There is no foam included for the foot compartment, however a Jackson Happy Foot Bag can make a great add on to this boat. For a boat that's only 50 gallons the Agent can handle paddlers up to about 6'2", and size 12 feet. Our test paddler weighed about 160 lbs and was 6'2". He commented that he had to get out of the boat every now and then because of occasional cramping. An IR over Thruster is also included, which is a nice addition.
