Dagger Kayaks

Dagger Kayaks was founded in 1988 in Tennessee, United States, by a group of passionate paddlers including Joe Pulliam. It quickly established itself as a world-leading benchmark for whitewater and touring kayaks, renowned for cutting-edge hull designs and durable rotomolded construction.

Today, Dagger is owned by Confluence Outdoor, LLC (headquartered in Greenville, South Carolina, USA). Confluence Outdoor is backed by private investment firm Ronin Capital Partners and oversees a recognized portfolio of paddlesport brands including Wilderness Systems, Perception, and Boardworks. While production is centered in Greenville, South Carolina, European distribution and certain licensed production/assembly have also operated via European partners (such as Palm Equipment in the UK) to supply paddlers across Europe, including Spain.
