If you were boating in the late 1990s or early 2000s you were probably paddling a full-slice kayak. The reality is many of us have continued to paddle full-slices long after they were being made. But as with most things if you hold on long enough a design will come back around with an update.
Enter the Nova, the younger sibling of the Super Nova, boasting a design that promises top-tier performance and unforgettable adventures. Drawing inspiration from the full-slice models of yesteryear, this high-performance playboat incorporates a host of modern features that only Dagger can deliver with finesse.

- Precision adjustable thigh brace

The Nova would be a like a squirt boat for me so I am unable to test this one personally. Although I am waiting on the larger Super Nova to land.
I reckon it looks really good in Snowy white, a great nod to its designer.
