Team Jackson Kayak takes Reno by storm! by Will Richardson | May 17, 2005 | Whitewater | 0 comments May 17, 2005 Photos I was the only invited athlete to the Reno festival, but the Open Event on Friday that was a qualifier, allowing the top three women, and top three men enter the Pro Invitational was full of Jackson Kayak team members. Thanks to Dan Rubado, Devon Barker, Nick Troutman, Dane and Emily Jackson, and Stephen Wright for taking a leap of faith and going for it! Nick, Emily, and Stephen all made the cut! With Stephen and Emily winning, and Nick being second. In the men’s kayak class Jackson Kayak got: Stephen Wright- All-Star- 1st place Nick Troutman- All-Star- 2nd place Dane Jackson- Fun 1- 4th place Dan Rubado- Super Star- 5th place In the women’s kayak we got: Emily Jackson- Star- 1st place Devon Barker- Star- 4th place In the Pro-Invitational we also showed the rest of the best what we are made of: Men’s Pro EJ- 1st Place- Jackson Kayak All-Star Stephen Wright- 3rd Place- Jackson Kayak All-Star Nick Troutman- 7th place- Jackson Kayak All-Star Women’s Pro Emily Jackson- 2nd Place- Jackson Kayak Star (only women, sorry girl, in the competition paddling a Jackson Kayak) What is the reason Jackson Kayak did so well? 1st off- the Star series is the best freestyle boat on the market, period. It goes bigger on loops, it cartwheels easier, and it better all- around for playboating than any other boat. Secondly- the Team Jackson Kayak paddlers are awesome. Unknown, but not for long.
