I have two kayaks, a Prijon Taifun that I paddle in Class I & II whitewater and on the blackwater streams of eastern North Carolina. My primary kayak is a Dagger Meridian, (16'L, 22" W, 50 lbs.) which fits me to a "T" and is light enough for me to be able to lift it on and off of my truck rack without assistance. The Meridian tracks nicely and responds very well to leans, and paddle. I like the big keyhole cockpit opening which makes entries and exits very easy.
