The Dagger Katana 10.4 is a sit inside whitewater kayak that offers a unique combination of speed, maneuverability, and stability. Designed as a crossover kayak, it excels in any water conditions.

The balanced rocker profile of the Katana ensures speed and efficiency when paddling on flat water, while still providing excellent maneuverability in whitewater. The hull design offers initial stability, allowing paddlers to feel confident on the water.

The beveled and flared side-walls of the Katana contribute to its secondary stability, making it easier to maintain balance and control while navigating rapids. The rounded stern deck shape, borrowed from the renowned Mamba design, allows for efficient water shedding and forgiveness in moving water.

One notable feature of the Katana is its spacious cockpit, which sets it apart from traditional whitewater kayaks. This provides a less confining feeling and more room for larger paddlers or additional gear storage for longer adventures.

The Dagger Katana 10.4 measures 10' 4" in length and weighs 56 lbs. It is available in a 10.4 model, making it suitable for larger paddlers or those in need of extra storage space. The kayak also comes equipped with removable bulkheads and reinforced hatches, offering unparalleled gear storage options.

To enhance speed and stability, the Katana includes a drop skeg. This feature enables paddlers to maintain a straight course on the water, even in challenging conditions.

The Dagger Katana 10.4 has received recognition for its versatility and performance. It was named "the do everything kayak" by Backpacker magazine in their 2014 gear guide.
