Rapid Magazine have put together this great walkthrough with Chris Gragtmans of the new Dagger Phantom. Probably my next new creek boat.

So what do we know about the kayak Dagger are currently assigning the name Phantom. Firstly if and when it comes into production the boat will most likely have a different name. The maximum length of boats for the short boat class in races such as the Green Narrows river race is now 9ft. The Phantom will fall within the category.
The first and second prototypes of this Phantom have been on the water for a few years and a third prototype will be hitting the water very shortly. In all likelihood this will be a preproduction model and will represent what the finally Phantom will look like.
As a professional kayaker it can be easy to hear about successes, but what about failures? Chris’s talk centers around why failure is important to grow as a person.
Chris Gragtmans is one of the most respected personalities in the paddlesports industry. He is a champion kayak and standup paddleboard athlete, editorial thought leader, business owner, and professional speaker. He has presented to high schools, universities and industry retailers alike, and his passion is equally evident on the microphone and on the water.
This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community.
Chris Gragtmans gives us a run down of the new Immersion Research (2015) Arch Rival Drysuit. It’s also worth keeping an eye out for the new 9ft boat from Dagger currently named the Phantom.
