Dagger Rewind MD Action+

Dagger Rewind MD Action+: A dynamic river-play machine that grows with your skills

Rewind MD: The All-Purpose Whitewater Paddle

The Dagger Rewind MD (Medium) is the perfect middle ground in the Rewind family, designed for the widest range of paddlers (with a recommended weight of 63.5–100 kg). With a displacement of 254 liters, it offers enough buoyancy in heavy water to make you feel confident, but at the same time, the stern is small and thin enough to easily submerge during tricks and quick turns. This eliminates the “struggle with excess volume” that lighter riders experience with large creek boards, giving way to pure control.

Hull and Hydrodynamics: Speed, Glide, and Predictability

The boat's hydrodynamic profile is optimized for maximum efficiency and enjoyment while cruising in the current:

• Wide planing hull: It offers a stable midsection and pronounced yet distinct edges. The board is fast, surfs great, and is responsive to lean even in choppy water, without feeling sluggish or clunky.
• High bow rocker: It supports confident boofs and clean rides over the horizon, while ensuring that the bow stays above the water even in massive waves.
• Low stern volume: A key element for playfulness. It makes it easy to perform tricks like the stern-squirt or pivot, because the stern dives into the water smoothly and predictably.
• Softer edges: They provide stability and predictability during maneuvers. The boat does not bounce around unpredictably, but transitions smoothly and responsively from edge to edge.

Action+ Features: Top-Notch Comfort and Control

The Action+ is designed as durable yet lighter equipment for everyday paddling, club use, and ambitious paddlers who appreciate the reduced weight when carrying and loading the boat (it weighs about one kilogram less than the premium Creek version):

• Contour Lite Seat and Backrest: A comfortable, ergonomically shaped seat that provides good torso support, does not restrict movement, and allows for precise edge control.
• Ratchet tensioning system: Practical and precise adjustment of the backrest using ratchets, which lock you into an aggressive, forward-leaning riding position.
• Rigid plastic front strut (bulkhead): It ensures safety and firm footing without the risk of your feet getting caught when leaving the boat in wet conditions. The deck is reinforced by a central foam pillar.
• Adjustable thigh supports and Contour Lite hip pads: It adapts to the paddler's individual needs for maximum comfort and perfect power transfer from the knees to the boat's edges.
• Safety handrails: For transport and rescue.

Recommended activities: From technical runs to river play

The Dagger Rewind MD Action+ is a versatile tool for dynamic skill development:

• Technical whitewater rafting trips (WW II–IV): Excellent handling and stability on challenging routes, where you'll appreciate the boat's ability to hold its course and maneuver easily around rocks.
• River play and surfing: The low volume of the tail and the slice profile allow for effective use of river features for technical tricks, easy wave catch, and stable control on the wave.
• Advanced Techniques Training: Thanks to its predictability, it’s one of the best boats on the market for learning to boof, perform an Eskimo roll, and work the edge. The smaller volume in the stern helps beginners “read” and feel the water.

About the brand Dagger

The American company Dagger is one of the world’s best-known and most innovative manufacturers of whitewater kayaks. It has long been a leader in the development of creek and river-play boats. It combines a well-thought-out hull design, high-quality materials, and top-of-the-line features that prioritize both safety and paddler comfort. The Rewind MD model demonstrates how Dagger combines the stability and predictability of a creek boat with the speed and playfulness of a modern half-slice.

Caring for a Polyethylene Shell

The hull is made of high-quality linear polyethylene. To maximize its service life, we recommend storing the kayak away from constant direct UV exposure. After paddling in sandy terrain, rinse the kayak with water to prevent unnecessary abrasion of the material inside the cockpit and jamming of the ratchet mechanisms. Regularly check that all equipment screws are tight.
