Dagger ID or Wavesport Transformer?? 18 years 5 months ago #10389
|
Am currently trading in my trusty big river runner for something smaller and more playful. Got 2 second hand options but difficult to decide between the 2 (Dagger ID and wavesport transformer0
Can anyone give me any advice in terms of which is better for playboating? johnp |

I do not know much about the dagger ID but i have paddled my transformer for over a year and have been very pleased with it. I learned to spin, cartwheel, loop, blunt, and backstab in it. Although it is much slower than the newer boats and a bit wider, but this makes it a very stable boat. I did feel that the tips often got in the way when surfing so I tended not to use them. one feature I liked about the outfitting is that you can pull the foot blocks toward you and lock them down once you are in the boat for a snugger fit. Ive heard that the Id is not very comfortable but then again Ive never used it. I would try them both before making a decision as well as others.
good luck |

I've paddled my Transfomrer (T2) for three years now. I'm ready for a narrower and faster boat. But, I must say it is an awsome boat. I learned many moves and it is stable. I would recomend it to people who are begining to get into playboating, for sure.

I've a Dagger ID (7.0) now for many years and I still love that boat! It's a real cartweel-machine, enough volume for riverrunning (intill class IV) but also a great playboat. A very nice allround boat, if you ask me. A great boat to learn playboating moves.
Good luck |

I don't know the ID but have paddled the Transformer in sizes (T2,T3 and T4). The Transformer is slower than more modern boats such as the ZG on a wave but still good fun for sure. Pretty good in holes and actually a pretty good river runner. The width makes the boat very stable. All the guys I know who paddle them, don't use the tips... The boat is not edgy river running but fairly slow.. obviously
 being so short. Check out a nice drop being run here in South Africa with the T4 by Philip Claassens --->adrian.playak.com/index.php?option=com_z...&key=0&hit=1 and some play, further downstream... adrian.playak.com/index.php?option=com_z...amp;key=11&hit=1 and last one, Mike Pennefather boofing with a T2. This resulted in a blown deck with serious down time and a sore back... and coming up next to the undercut on river left. Most of the lines being run on the video are too far left In fact the first guy nicks it. At high water it is VERY dangerous.adrian.playak.com/index.php?option=com_z...amp;key=32&hit=1 a video of it (enjoy - low water): adrian.playak.com/index.php?option=com_z...&key=5&hit=1 Yeah, I know, any boat could do that. Just wanted to inspire (force? convince?) you  No, just kidding. Give it a go and demo, demo, demo  |
