Hello Paddlers! Today, we're doing a shootout between the @OldTownCanoeKayak Sorrento Series and the @daggerkayaks Axis Series. Thanks for watching!
Thank you for the comment! The Axis and Aspire are similar boats. I haven't personally paddled in the Aspire, but I would assume that they would handle similarly in flat water and lower class rapids. They both have drop-down skegs and have similar dimensions. A large difference would be that the cockpit on the Aspire is quite a bit larger than the Axis. If you plan on using the kayak for rapids or in tighter rivers, the Axis allows for more bracing with knees and thighs, while the Aspire could be more comfortable with the additional leg room. If you were looking to get a skirt, the Axis would be easier to put a skirt on.
This guy really likes old Town kayaks
Great overall video. Would have liked to know the sidewall thickness and weight of each. Maybe you said it and I didn't hear.
Great review.
Which one is faster mph.
Sorrento is a little faster, but not much!
How does the WS aspire 10.5 compare? Very similar to axis? Great video
