Happy Feet make it easier to bow stall and loop! by Kat and David Levitt | Apr 25, 2011 | Whitewater | 2 comments I will never forget my first Jackson boat with Happy Feet. I looked inside and thought, ” What are all these tubes and hoses for?” I was an old school outfitting purist. I would spend hours shaving down mini-cell foam with dragonskin. Well not anymore! Now I get on the water right away and have more fun. Thanks to innovations by Jackson Kayak like the Happy Feet! But handsdown, the best thing about the Happy Feet is the foundation it provides for my feet to push off of. This solid, firm, and comfortable foot area makes it much easier to balance and spring off your feet into the moves you want to do! Sometimes I paddle barefoot, sometimes in booties, and in the new Rockstar I can even wear shoes! Happy Feet allows me to adjust for different footwear inside my boat in a matter of seconds. The Happy Feet is a real luxury item for your boat that Jackson offers standard in their elite models. Give it a try if you haven’t already. If you have a classic or linear boat, go ahead and upgrade. You’re worth it! 🙂 2 Comments Sean Hudson on November 9, 2011 at 3:05 pm Would you recommend these for paddlers who might swim? Can you get out easily in emergencies? They look awesome!!

Just make sure that you get the right size for your boat and your leg length ! Stephen Reply Submit a Comment Cancel replyYour email address will not be published.
