Neither of these kayaks performs well in rough conditions and wind.
My SO unloaded her Shadow and got a Solstice GTS.

I con't comment on Dagger products - the only Dagger I ever got in
was an Ocoee and that's not even a kayak (some would say it's not
a proper canoe either :-)

Unfortunately i do not have a mean to demo these boats personally
before the purchase.

Then you're taking a big risk. I would never buy a kayak based on a
recommendation - especially one from the Internet. Would you buy
hiking boots based on opinions without ever trying them on?
