I am on a roller coaster here at Jackson Kayak! The
whole staff is on one! We now have the Hero, Super Hero, and Rocker molds
in and are almost ready to make first quality boats of each model. But
that is not why I am smiling so big. I got to take the virgin run in a
Super Hero today! It doesn’t have the front logo on it, nor did
it have a bulkhead in it, but that is OK. I stuffed a Happy Feet on both
sides of the wall and went like that! Anyhow, the boat is THE FASTEST
8’ 6” boat in the world! I am ready to take the Pepsi challenge!
I am also ready to race in extreme races again! I have the most wins in
extreme and head to head races in the world, by my calculations, with
over 15 major wins. I haven’t gone out of my way to race a whole
lot lately because I had to borrow boats since I hadn’t designed
a fast boat for racing yet. The Super Hero and Hero are ideal. What if
you don’t want to race? Well, as you can imagine, there is a market
of ZERO to “extreme racers”, so that is not only what it is
designed for, but that is an indicator of what you can expect;

  1. Fast
  2. Light
  3. Stays on the surface
  4. Drives a line like a sports car
  5. Worthy of just about any river you want to put it
    on…river running/creekboat
  6. Comfortable
  7. Easy to roll

The bow is made to be near the surface and stay there.
It doesn’t want to dive, and it doesn’t want to lift. It just
rides straight and true. You will really like the way it goes through
waves and holes. It tames the hard stuff.

I will stop writing now… We leave for our next
4 day river running expedition!! North Chic, Tallulah, and then Little
River Canyon. We’ll be filming my new river running video and checking
out the Rocker, Hero, and Super Hero!!! We’ll also be paddling the
Funs because, that is the ultimate River Running/Playboat. Life is good!

p.s. Graphics come in on Monday, so we’ll have
some cool boats out soon! Oh yea, our catalog is almost finished and our
master designer, Joe Tenison is putting together a master piece. The Hero
and Super Hero are the final pieces of the puzzle. Drain plugs- the first
75 Rockers will have no drain plugs. I want one of them. That leaves 74.
Anybody who doesn’t usually swim and wants a dry boat should get
theirs right away. They will be gone fast. The rest will have drain plugs!
