Dagger Indra Creek MD/LG

Product detailed description

Dagger Indra MD/LG Creek - key features

Dagger Indra MD/LG Creek is a larger size of the popular creek play / river-running kayak, designed for paddlers who want a combination of high volume, confident stability and playfulness. The three-quarter slice concept combines a raised rocker bow, widehull planning and the narrowing aft deck. The boat thus stays high on the water, accelerates well and at the same time remains very predictable even in rough water.

Creek specification uses a full-sizeContour Ergo Creek outfitting, a robust, detail-adjustable piece of equipment developed for demanding descents. Compared to the Action+, the Indra Creek offers a more sophisticated seat with leg lifter, distinctively shaped thigh rests, a safety step-out wall and a massive bulkhead footrest. SizeMD/LG with a volume of 340 l, it has enough buoyancy for riders of 64-113 kg, including equipment for long days on the water.

Hull, stability and handling

The basis of the driving characteristics iswide planing hullthat keeps the kayak high on the water, responds quickly to edging and provides strong secondary stability. The transition between the bottom and the sides is pronounced, so the Indra carves willingly in the current, holds its line in long transitions and provides clear feedback to the rider in bank turns. The 70cm width gives larger riders a sense of generous stability without making the boat feel clunky.

High rocker bow supports confident boofs over drops and horizons - the tip easily rises above waves, rollers and bumps on the breaks.Tapered sternthe tapered stern with less volume allows the stern to be loaded for pivot turns and quick corrections, but at the same time the Indra MD/LG retains enough buoyancy to safely navigate large rapids. The camber at the rear helps to quickly bring the tip back to the water after drop impact, converting the impact energy into a smooth ride downstream.

Comfort and safety

CreekContour Ergo outfitting is designed for maximum safety, precise adjustment and long-term comfort even in demanding conditions. The larger cockpit provides plenty of room for taller and more robust riders, but thanks to the wide range of tuning options, contact with the boat remains very precise at all times.

• Roto-moulded Contour Ergo seat with leg lifter - sturdy seat with thigh lift for active sitting, better grip and less fatigue during all-day riding.
• Contour Ergo Engage thigh braces - distinctively shaped and fully adjustable thigh rests with the possibility of fine-tuning the aggressiveness with inserts; the rider is firmly connected to the boat even in heavy current combinations.
• Safety step-out wall - a central brace that increases hull stiffness and serves as a support during emergency ascent; it also provides an internal grip for carrying the kayak.
• Volume-adjustable full-canvas footrest - Massive bulkhead with foam padding distributes the force of both feet, increasing safety (larger crumple zone) and comfort in the front of the cockpit.
• Padded lumbar support and hip supports - allow fine tuning of the width and support in the pelvic area with inserts, so that the kayak can be adapted to both smaller and more robust riders.
• 5 safety handles - solid anodized handles for rescue, securing in the field and normal handling of a submerged boat.
• HDPE hull - high-density polyethylene (HDPE) guarantees high rigidity, impact resistance and long life in intensive creek use.
