Here is an Antix getting built from scratch and other cool clips.

by ericjackson | Jul 15, 2017 | Antix, Company Info, EJ, Internationalisation, United States, Whitewater

Dickies wanted me to make a clip that showed my kayaking, and introduced my fishing, but mostly talked about the factory and showed a kayak being built.     Steve Fisher and I put this together, Steve on the story board, camera, editing, and helping me...

How its Made. Inside the Jackson Kayak Factory

by sethashworth | Mar 19, 2017 | Company Info, Featured Post, Fishing, Media, Team JK, Whitewater

I have always wondered what happens behind the closed doors of the Jackson Kayak factory.   In a way I assume that it is some kind of hybrid of magic and chemistry that gets a shiny new kayak to my door.  I envisage a cross between Hogwarts and the...

by Clay Wright | Oct 3, 2014 | Dealer, Whitewater, Wrap Ups

Perfect weather and huge crowds made NOC’s GAF 2014 better than ever.  Not only were the Nantahala Cascades and Upper Nantahala running (thanks American Whitewater!) but also there were good deals, bands, food and beer on both shores at the take-out.   What more...

Get your Demo Day on !

by Alan L Ryland | Jun 8, 2014 | Dealer, Fishing, Freshwater, Saltwater Fishing

One of, I feel, the most important factors when purchasing your first or upgrading to a new kayak is getting it on the water for a test ride. Make, model, size, seating options, fishing or pleasure paddling, etc. are many aspects one must consider. The best way to...

Paddling with Giants

by Sean Morley | Jun 6, 2014 | Jackson Dealers, Whitewater

On a recent business trip to Montana, Wyoming and Idaho I was fortunate enough to meet and paddle with some true giants of paddle sport. I had arranged to meet Gary (The Edge) Edgeworth at Rendezvous River Sports the following morning. Gary is a Team Jackson paddler...

by ericjackson | May 7, 2014 | EJ Thoughts, Featured Post, Jackson Dealers, Whitewater

As you may already know, both Dane, and I have severe hearing loss, and KC has moderate loss.   The issues this causes us and those around us if we don’t have hearing  aids is immense.    Dane and I are lucky however, as we have been able to function and get...

How to Install Casting Brace on Kilroy (Video)

by JK Team | Mar 7, 2014 | Dealer, Fishing, Fly Fishing, Freshwater, Kilroy, rivers, Saltwater Fishing, Video

A few of us on the fishing team have adopted the Kilroy as our Inland Bass Yak. This yak won us over because of its lighter weight, speed, stability, comfort and fishability. The lack of scuppers makes this boat glide through the water smoother than its 12′...

Cocodrie

by Ben Roussel | Jan 14, 2014 | Cuda, Featured Post, Fishing, Fly Fishing, Internationalisation, Jackson Dealers, Recreational/Touring, Saltwater

Really happy to make it out for the first time in a long time, though the trip ended up being somewhat bittersweet. I fished Cocodrie today so that I wouldn’t be totally blind when Minimalist Challenge rolls around next weekend. This was a pure scouting trip as...

Into the fog…

In every single aspect of the word that you could possibly imagine, it had been one weird, disjointed week.  You know, that continual string of days where flat out nothing seems to work, and you just feel off kilter.  Yup, it was one of those.  I was grateful that my...

2012 Jackson Kayak Dealer Summit- Awesome!

by ericjackson | Oct 27, 2012 | Dealer, Featured Post, Fishing, Jackson Dealers, Recreational/Touring, Whitewater

There is something special about getting our dealer partners together in one place and having that place be at my home, our factory, and on the water at Rock Island.     We had three nights and three days of action, plus fishing on the Collins River and an Ocoee River...

  I spent some time last weekend in Portland, Texas for the grand opening of the Yak Shack, the newest Jackson Kayak dealer on the Texas coast. They are located right on the water and you can catch fish within a hundred yards of the shop. If you’re ever in the...
