Jay Kincaid- who has been known to wear holes in his boats in two weeks at the Reno Whitewater Park, writes in about his experience in a Jackson Kayak Super Star… by Will Richardson | Nov 15, 2005 | Whitewater | 0 comments November 15, 2005 After every session on the Truckee River I take a quick look at the ends of my boat. It’s an old habit. This time of year the water is lower and the rocks and concrete are more exposed. Recently, since my move to the Jackson Kayak and the Super Star I have been amazed at how well my boat is wearing, or rather not wearing. In the years past, in other kayaks, I would wear through and break boats on a consistent basis. My point though isn’t about those other boats, but is about the strength of the plastic and shape of the Super Star. Jackson Kayak uses "cross link" plastic which is much more resistant to the everyday wear and tear that your boat will see on the river. The Star series are also more rounded and free of sharp angles at the ends making for a boat that doesn’t have the sharp wear points of other boats on the market. Combining that shape with a superior plastic has made my daily sessions worry free, as after over 50 days of use the ends of my boats look as close to new as a used boat can. I paddle almost every single day, and if you see me on the river and want to know what a very used boat looks like, just take a look at mine. I think that you will be amazed at just how un-used it looks. Jay Kincaid Submit a Comment Cancel replyYour email address will not be published.
