Isaac Levinson adds, “I’m very excited about joining team Jackson, I’ve been close with the family for many years and they have always been a huge inspiration to me. The way they live the river lifestyle shows their passion for the sport and is something I can’t wait to be a part of.”  Isaac continues, “Jackson Kayak’s dominance in the sport, strong team, and progressive boat designs are what attracted me to join their team. I’m looking forward to giving input on boat design and working with the rest of the design team to make even more progressive boats in the future.
