If you are short heighted, not very muscular, and haven't found the right kayak for you. Your search is over and you can pick this blindfolded. Special recommendation for girls.
Pros
- Rounded stern makes it very easy to roll.
- Planing hull with a rail. Stern is still rounded out. Forgiving boat with surfing, edging and spinning capability
- More safety features and more rescue points
- More volume, means the boat sits higher on the water.
- Beginners and intermediate paddlers are going to learn quicker because boat has more volume
Cons
- Mamba is not a play boat
- It has too much volume to get vertical squirts, cartwheels etc.
I am very excited with my Dagger Mamba 7.6. This new boat looks like the perfect choice for someone who needs one kayak that can do it all. I am a beginner I am 5'2" and 50 kgs and since last 2 years I could not find the perfect fit for me and it wasn't very encouraging. I am even more excited and encouraged to kayak in white water now.
I have not yet run class 4 or 5 with this, but my kayaker friends recommend it for those big runs also. The same forgiving design and added volume, that allows you to nail your line in a challenging rapid is also what will help a beginner progress to an intermediate level very quickly.
