So what.
Dagger designs have dominated the Freestyle circuit for the last two years. So what. Our consumers and our team are yelling for more. More of what you ask? Air. Air. Air. That's what they want and its Air that this year's new design delivers with the new Crazy 88 series. Our new boat delivers on more hull speed, a signature volume distribution in its deck, a hull designed to pop from the water and edges designed to allow a paddler to drive across a wave. Added to our outstanding hull design is our new outfitting system that is truly light weight performance oriented platform with new hull stiffening rail designed to provide paddler control and increased hull performance. Finally the Dagger team has partnered with Immersion Research to create an Overthruster plate for dialing in the Crazy 88's volume to get the best Air possible. See you up there.

About Me
Reginald here; I have been paddling for over 5 years now. I have run creeks, surfed at the beach, but mostly kayak at the USNWC.
Pros / The Good
I tried this boat out on the Nantahala and within 10-15 minutes I knew I was going to buy it from the guy. It is nice and fast. I ran the Upper Gauley with it a few years ago and that was a complete blast. Last year I had the itch for a new boat and started trying all sorts of playboats (USNWC is good for this as there is always one to rent or someone who will let you try their boat)... after trying dozens of boats over the summer, I'd get back in my Crazy 88... and realize I didn't like the new such and such. The only boat I have tried since and like a little more than mine is the Wavesport Project X 56.
Cons / The Bad
I wish it was a little wider. I sometimes struggle to spin it (but I also weigh 200lbs). I also wish the bow turned up a little more as I often get a lot of spray in the face when surfing.
Note: I did end out replacing the flimsy foam with a much stiffer foam that has greatly added to the support and provided better control.

Awsome!
Ok like I said, I'm 6' 165lbs. I'm an intermediate paddler, and I've been paddling this boat since September last year.
I usually take this boat out onto the big waves of the Lachine Rapids (expo 67, or Big Joe), but I have used it on the Rouge ri... [login for full review text]

I already did it I could see I big change when you perform your Loop or Carthweel. But The probleme, it is so tight , after 30 min I have to get out of my boat, because I have no more blood circulation.
I say you should get the pleasure wedger for it, it lifts up the angle of your seat and keeps your thighs tight and secure in your pads which gave me a lot more control of my crzy 6.2, so good luck!
hobie? haha i like it.

My friend has a Crazy 88 6.3 and loves it. He is on the light end of the scale and still can throw it around. He's just learning to playboat a bit. Already he has learned to loop and cartwheel in holes with this. I've had a quick paddle in a pool with this and it's quite nice. It was very easy to roll and hand rolled it first go too!
I think if you have a good price on it, and the boat and outfitting is in good condition you will be very happy with it.

looks like you are right. no idea why this happened. i definitely didn't make those numbers up.
let's check with dagger and give them the final word on it...
Hobie, could you please post the correct numbers for both crazy's here so i can make sure it's correct in the playak boats database?

wait a tick,
the stats for the Crazy 88 6.3 can't be correct, i've checked with other sites and it seems the stats on those sites are:
Length: 6'2.5\" (1.96 m) | Width: 26.5 in (67.31 cm)
Weight: 29 lbs (13 kg) | Volume: 48.1 gal (182 l)
Cockpit: 35 x 19 in (86 x 48 cm)
Paddler weight range: 155 - 200 lbs (70 - 91 kg)
but to tell you the truth i hope the Playak stats are correct:lol:

I would like to know if it's a good boat. I had a air 55 last years and I just sold it, and I have a good deal to get a crazy 88. I like to do carthweels, loops etc.. I'm not paddling a lot on waves, I prefer holes for now.
What I really want to know: Is it a good boat to play with. Is it easy to perform rodeo moves with it.
