Jitsu Impressions!

I am truly honored to be able to write my impressions of the soon to be available Dagger Jitsu, our newest freestyle project!  It’s been a little while I know but that wait will be well worth it.  This boat has the full force of the Dagger design team behind and it shows.  I can’t recall how many conversations I’ve had with other Team members, other paddlers and Mark “Snowy” Robertson and that was before we even had a boat to talk about!    Now that the boat has been through the paces, the prototypes, and the evaluation of some of the best freestyle paddlers on the planet I’m so excited I don’t even know where to start:)  Here’s my best effort, sorry if its a jumbled I really am just that pumped about this kayak!

It seems whenever I get asked about a freestyle boat people always want to know about the Hull Speed for the waves and how big does it loop.  Hull speed…. well I’ve thought about this and I’m just going to refer to the picture below of a recent test session at Skook.  Notice the compression of where Chris left the water and where he is in the air,  I think we’re good on Hull Speed!
