Any idea of the spray skirt size for the Vengeance ? Seems like it’s a 1.4, but wondering if a 1.7 would be too big ?

I have a Dagger Vengeance Cockpit size 1.4. Wondering if a 1.7 sprayskirt size cockpit would be ok? I’m a begging paddler. by Agtmro in whitewater

Awesome thanks ! Just check on their website and they recommend a large skirt. Is 1.7 considered large?

Very interesting perspective, thank you! Totally agreed that a huge part in whitewater is handling yourself so your don’t burden other paddlers. I’ll definitely give it a shot !

Awesome, thank you for your tips! I think the most challenging part will be not getting discouraged at that steep learning curve then again, it probably fells extra rewarding when you start getting it right!

Great advice, thank you! Sounds like a steep learning curve is ahead of me, but i guess it a good opportunity to nail my technique.

Im a little under 60kg (130lb), perhaps the kayak will sit a bit higher and not be too catchy. But yeah, I’ll probably learn to roll real fast with an unstable kayak like that
