From a tall skinny bloke in the UK, I got this message by Will Richardson | Sep 3, 2005 | 2010 Star, Classic Stars, Whitewater | 0 comments August 3, 2005 To my new Best friend, Just a quick note to say cheers! I have just started back into kayaking after a break of several years. I searched high and low for a boat that would suit my needs – Tall and lightweight. I’m 6’3" and 170lb. Could I find a boat that fitted me, not a chance! All the boats I tried were either to tight or way too much volume. So, after much wasted time I wound up with a compromised boat (Perception Madness), a steady performer but no real fun. Then by complete accident I stumbled upon Jackson Kayak in a small shop in the back end of nowhere (Bala, Wales, UK). My eyes have been opened!! I’ve gone from not being able to pull any moves to someone who can swap ends at the drop of a hat, loops – not quite, but I’m getting there. The All star kicks ass! I’ve never paddled a boat that’s so comfy yet such an extreme performer. Yes, I can shoehorn myself into other playboats but after 10 minutes I can’t feel my legs, the All Star fits like a glove! I can paddle the boat for hours and still be able to walk! The hull is so loose, but at the same time precise, almost as if it’s connected directly to you brain, you think the move and it just happens. No fuss, no complaints, no effort, just bucketloads of performance! I take it out onto the river and I can guarantee a line of people wanting a go. So the long and short of it is, Thank you very much for making tall skinny bloke very, very happy!! Best regards, Mike Kisby Submit a Comment Cancel replyYour email address will not be published.
