The Aon is the latest kayak from Dagger and Palm Equipment. The Aon (pronounced ‘ain’, like ‘rain’), is Irish for ‘one’. This is the ONE boat you need for progression. Built in the UK and designed to bridge the gap between traditional river runners and modern performance kayaks, the Aon gives you the confidence to catch more waves, snap into eddies, and discover completely new lines down your local run.
Key Features and Design
- Planing Hull: A wide planing hull provides speed and stability without losing control.
- Rocker Profile: Features a high bow rocker to ride smoothly over features and a crisp rocker break with a tapered tail for responsiveness.
- Stability: A wide stern adds stability and helps maintain speed through technical sections.
- Outfitting Options: Available in performance-focused Action+ outfitting or the streamlined Sportoutfitting.
The Aon comes in two specs, the Action + and the Sport. The Sport comes in at £949 in a single colour (orange, green or blue). The Action plus is £1249 and is a valuable in two blue or green, and a single team red.
