Testing testing.
Ben came down today from Palm/Dagger, he brought with him some new toys. In particular the new Dagger Axiom, a boat witch has been designed to take over from the HUGELY popular and successful RPM. Not an easy task then really…….. To Start with, as soon as you jump in the boat you realize that this boat has been designed to be comfy, a better knee position than the old RPM and much improved foot room make a big difference. Easley adjustable seat, thigh rest and foot plate foot rest make’s it easy and quick to set up and get going. On the water the full length rails allows the boat to carve and turn really precisely, the soft side profile provides really good initial and secondary stability, meaning that even at boiley Shepperton the Axiom’s handling is predictable and very user friendly. On the wave it was a joy to paddle; good bow rocker means the nose stays up easily and cruses around well. As a river runner the Axiom looks set to be a winner, good down river speed teamed with good edges for easy eddy hoping, but still with a good node towards play boating, big tail squirts and wave surfing fun should be had by all! But for a beginner getting into moving water the solid and predictable handling should encourage and improve your boat handling double quick! Looks like a really well thought out and built boat. Oh………..easy to roll too! Nice….Few dry land shoots
And on the water! 3 gates at Shepperton! SWEET!
Classic Shepperton!
