Product detailed description

DragoRossi Naga - key features

DragoRossi Naga is a modern creek kayak designed as a fast, high-volume boat for larger riders. The 380 litres of buoyancy and 70cm width give the rider a large margin in heavy water, yet the kayak feels lively and responsive to every stroke. From the start, the Naga was developed as a kayak that can handle both high volume rivers with long wave fields and steep creeks with precise line reading.

The hull is shaped so that the kayakvery fast, but at the same time easy to spin and well boofed. This makes the Naga suitable for both experienced riders who want to push their limits at higher difficulty levels, as well as advanced and ambitious beginners looking for a forgiving creeker to help them grow. The stable character, high volume and confident pour-over behaviour increase the feeling of security in challenging rapids.

Hull, stability and handling

The basis of the driving characteristics iswide planing hullwhich keeps the boat high on the water, facilitates wave entry and ensures good acceleration in the jet stream. This allows the kayak to accelerate readily, maintain speed over waves and across currents, and "stick" less in flooded areas. The stable bottom helps riders keep a steady hull even in choppy water and gives plenty of time to correct the line.

With hislength 275 cm naga combines the speed of the longer creek boats with surprising agility. The front end has a pronounced rocker for dry riding over waves and drops, while the rear end promotes easy boofing and clean impacts. The kayak is happy to set up on edge, carves well, and its compact length makes it easy to fit into narrower passages and short backwaters on steep creeks.

Comfort and safety

Naga uses modernPower DRS outfittingwhich emphasizes comfort, firm contact between the rider and the boat and easy setup. All key contact surfaces are padded to fix the rider's body well, but at the same time not restrict movement during boofs and tilts.

• Power DRS seat cushion - easily adjustable in 6 positions thanks to the new attachment on the central "wing" brace, allowing you to fine-tune the position of the centre of gravity according to your riding style.
• Padded hip pads - fastened with Velcro on the seat, with two straps around the seat to prevent loss; extra delineating inserts included for quick width adjustment.
• Height and angle adjustable backrest - comfortable backrest with two ratchets and adjustable straps, designed to leave good access to equipment stored behind the seat.
• Legrest - wraparound knee rests - simple and effective thighbraces, extended for more secure knee support; if necessary, their length can be easily shortened for easier exit from the kayak.
• Bulkhead footrest - bulky and width-adjustable footrest, adjustable via control knobs inside the boat, ensures even force transfer from both feet.
• Foam reinforcements and safety elements - front and rear foam pillars increase rigidity and buoyancy; 4 handles andsafety steel bar provide fixed points for rescue and securing; the drain screw makes it easy to pour out the water.

What is it suitable for?

DragoRossi Naga is ideal for:

✅Large volume rivers ("big water") - high volume of 380 l, stable planing hull and fast ride make it an excellent kayak for big waves, strong currents and broken water.
✅Steep creeks and technical passages - Compact length, easy boofing and agility help to hit lines accurately and clear drops and cascades.
✅Advanced riders and ambitious beginners - The Naga is designed to be used by experienced riders on demanding trails, but its stability and predictable handling also make it a good "first big creeker" for riders transitioning to WW IV.
✅Riders in the weight range 75-100 kg - Hull shape and volume are optimized for taller and heavier riders who need more cockpit space and reserve lift with equipment.
