regulations

Some states require that all kayaks be registered. To 

register your kayak you will need your Manufacturer’s 

Statement of Origin (MSO). This serves as the title to 

your kayak and should have been provided when you 

took delivery. If not, check with your retailer. If it has 

been lost, have your dealer contact Dagger and we will 

provide a replacement.

Note: Make sure the serial number on your MSO 
matches that on your hull.
