Fun Series

Fun Series Description: The original Jackson Kayak, the Jackson Fun Series has been one of the most popular all-around boats of all time. Now in its fourth iteration, the new Fun features high, forgiving, parting lines, lots of legroom for comfort and a sleek style reminiscent of the original and 2nd generation Fun. With this version, Jackson has gone back to the Fun being a more well versed river runner, with enough freestyle features to make it an attractive option for beginners wanting a go-everywhere-do-everything type kayak as well as to seasoned experts looking for a versatile and comfortable with ample play characteristics without sacrificing downriver performance (think Grand Canyon). The combination of hull shape for river running and for play makes this boat a great all around option; narrow for speed but flared out sidewalls and increased continuous rocker keeps your edges out of the water. This design allows you to keep more water off the deck, make the most of your boofs, and help you cross holes and eddy lines with authority, while the increased side-wall flair allows for added stability on edge, easier rolling, later bracing, and to reduce the effects of boils and cross-currents.

Antix Series

Antix 2010 Description: If you were heading to a new river, with no beta on what to expect and you were given the choice of only one boat to take; you would take the Antix 2.0. After three years paddling the original Antix we were all reminded of how much FUN whitewater is! With the masterful reshaping of a full planing hull, we have made the Antix substantially faster, made it surf like no other, stay on the surface, and made it squirt with less effort than ever. It runs rivers well, it runs creeks well and it’s the best for play in its class, bar none! It’s the one boat that rules them all for all day fun on the water. The Antix brings play, river running and creeking together into a one-boat-fits-all package. We’ve taken the best selling kayak in its class and added more speed, comfort, ease and play to give you the Antix 2.0.

Star Series

Star Series 2013 Description: Are you ready for the World of Freestyle Kayaking to be yours? The All Star is! Debuting at the World Cup of Freestyle kayaking with the world’s best paddlers choosing it after their initial testing. The most user friendly and highest performing freestyle boat yet!   It is also WAY faster and looser than any play boat Jackson Kayak has had to offer (which says it all!) . The overall view of the boat is sleeker and sexier and less stubby compared to previous models.  This provides smoother cartwheels, while also bigger loops, more balanced ends that are easier to keep vertical. Hard moves are easier and go even BIGGER!  We are making three sizes, Star series: Star, All-Star,and  Super Star.  Don’t delay, get yours today!

RockStar 2016 Description: A narrower, faster, looser, easier to take off hull is the platform that everything is built on. Easy edge-to-edge transfers combined with massive air capabilities and smooth, predictable surfing makes it a ridiculously fun boat to paddle on a wave. We took extra time in the development of this deck as well to make sure that we had a rock solid knee position, and increased performance for moves in holes and flatwater. The ends of this boat are slicey and easy to get under the water, making cartwheels, stalls, and linking moves together easier than ever before. Play boating will be a joy whether you are just learning your first tricks or you want to win the next World Championships.

Hero Series

Little Hero Description: Why the Little Hero? Just because you aren’t as big as some of the other people out on the river, doesn’t mean you can go as big! The Little Hero is sized to allow you to run the rivers that challenge you, without the boat being a challenge. What you can expect: Uber stable, easy to roll, easy to paddle, boat that keeps you upright and paddling downstream. A boat that fits well is easier to paddle, and the Little Hero completes the kids packages for the Hero series.

Hero Description: Run anything, pack some gear, and enjoy the confidence this river running/creek boat offers. While the Fun is your best combination of river running/play this boat is your best combination of river running/creeking. Designed to handle the largest diversity of water possible it will not let you down anywhere you decide to go. Low draft, long lines means it handles shallow water without bottoming out and stays fast. Volume is designed to keep you on the surface and upright in big water or at the bottom of drops. This boat has no match in speed at 8’ in length either, so whether you are doing a big ferry, a long flat-water paddle out of your favorite river or trying to beat your paddling buddy to the takeout, you’ll have an ace in the hole!

Dynamic Duo

Dynamic Duo Description: Welcome to the future! While tandem kayaks have been made before, it was time to make a modern tandem boat that is suitable for teaching in, for bringing friends, significant others, kids, and really opening up paddling to those who don’t want to go solo! This is a high performance tandem with all of the comfort, dryness, durability, ease of rolling, and outfitting from Jackson’s top of the line Hero series. Based on the Hero, and the concept that sometimes, two Heroes are better than one, this will be an easy boat to be confident in. Look for this boat on a river near you!

Rogue Series

Rogue Series Description: One boat with two distinctly different personalities. Designed to be the quiver of one for the paddler whose appetite for river adventure is a bit more sampler platter than main course. Versatility is the calling card of the Rogue thanks to a hull shape designed to expertly bridge the opposing performance characteristics of being fast on flatwater while nimble in whitewater. Transitioning from light touring down meandering rivers to Class II-III whitewater is this Rogue’s calling card.

SUPerCHARGER

SUPerCHARGER Description: Jackson SUPerCHARGER is short, wide and thick, with a shedding bow/deck and a flat standing area complete with a foam deck pad. The stern of this revolutionary whitewater SUP board has increased volume and so that it resurfaces quickly and cleanly but can still surf a variety of river features. Three fin boxes allow a paddler to arrange their placement to specific needs, and can be removed entirely. Bottom channels add rigidity to the hull and increase tracking.

This is the ideal SUP for the widest variety water conditions, and really shines in whitewater.
