The Outburst redefines the ALL-AROUND whitewater kayak.

We all know what our choices used to be, either a stable platform for river running or a hot playboat for the play spots. This tough choice has become easy. The Outburst is a boat that offers full-sized river running stability for the challenging rapids AND includes Dagger's heritage of no-holds-barred, cutting-edge, rodeo play technology to shred the play spots. With room for lunch, a breakdown paddle, some extra clothes and a first aid kit, the Outburst is terrific for running kayak trips in Chile. It's my boat of choice just about everywhere!

•Chris Spelius, Roving ambassador of Whitewater Kayaking

Standard outfitting includes: Easy Gripª grab loops, one-piece interchangeable thighbraces with neoprene padding, deck loops and seat accessory loops, molded-in drain plug, water bottle, minicell walls, Yakima footbraces, molded-in graphics

Optional: Bulkhead footbrace

Still going strong, very good boat for old school river running.
Excellent eddy hopping machine also on big water. Considered a bit long these days but last week i was in Austria and whishe I had my Outburst with me ,instead of the Fluid Spice L (I know, it's me)

outfitting is not comparable with todays standard but sufficient

Conclusion
