Palm x Dagger Aon Sport

A progressive whitewater kayak with modern design

The Palm x Dagger Aon Sport is a progressive whitewater kayak built for paddlers who want a modern, confidence-inspiring boat that can take them further. Its design combines the stability and forgiving handling needed while learning with the speed, agility and performance to keep things exciting as skills develop. At 2.6m in the medium size, the Aon has enough length to carry speed downriver while remaining responsive and easy to manoeuvre.

The hull uses generous width and carefully balanced volume to keep the kayak riding high on the water. A high-rockered bow helps it clear waves and smaller stoppers without taking on unnecessary water, while the wide stern and raised rocker provide stability when landing drops or moving through broken water. The smooth rail and softer sidewall transitions make the boat predictable around eddy lines, helping paddlers make controlled corrections without the kayak suddenly catching or grabbing.

The Sport spec adds a practical outfitting package that makes the Aon particularly well suited to clubs, schools, centres and fleet use. Fixed thigh braces provide secure leg contact and control, while the padded seat and adjustable padded backrest offer a comfortable fit. A bulkhead footrest provides a solid, supportive connection to the boat for confident paddling and reliable use across a wide range of sessions.
