2013 Jackson Kayak STAR Series is on it's way!

The Endless Adventure Storefront is happy to announce that the 2013 Jackson Kayak STAR Series is on it's way, and we are super stoked to see what this new design is capable of! The JK crew of Clay Wright, Stephen Wright, Dane Jackson, Eric Troutman, Emily Jackson, and of course EJ amongst others just got back from Uganda where they put the STAR line up to the test on the White Nile. Check out Nick Troutman's GoPro Uganda Edit here

Here's EJ's Intro to the STAR!

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! 

Click the image to the right to learn more about this great boat, and if you think the STAR Series is the right boat for you, then contact our Endless Adventure Online Store and we'll either send one off to you, put one on layaway, or order your own custom colored STAR to be on our next order! Hurry soon, the paddling season is just around the corner! Whoohoo!

Jackson Kayak Karma's are enroute to Endless Adventure!

Jackson Kayak’s Fourth Generation Creek Boat in the past 9 years takes a big leap forwards. The Karma takes a turn towards speed, stability, and carving. Fast, stable, and forgiving, with predictable turning, boofing, and a bow that rises over anything in its way. 

The 2013 Karma starts with a Hull that is flat and stable, providing a low draft to get over rocks easily, and be stable when on them, or on the water. The rocker profile on the Karma offers easy downstream paddling over waves and holes with little water on the deck, plus it ads speed into and out of drops to carry you past the holes, and over the rocks with ease. The sidewalls of the Karma are massive and provide huge secondary stability, plus keep water off the deck making it less edgy. The parting line is as high as we could make it, also giving a very forgiving shape for side currents and holes. The deck is shedding and stable for resurfacing, while the bow lifting shape keeps it rising up downstream. Perhaps one of the biggest features that are built into this boat is the downstream speed. This boat will make the ultimate extreme racing creekboat due to the idealized shape of the rocker, hull, and dry bow. The boat will be outfitted with the Uni-Shock Bulkhead, sure lock backband (new 2013 model) and our new Thermo Formed U-channel, and complete Boat Armor package for hull support/seat and deck support.
 
Some of the key features of the Karma are: 

  • Uni-Shock Bulkhead
  • Carry Strap on Bow Wall for either right or left hand carry
  • Grey Sure-Lock Backband- 2013 model
  • Grey Seat pad and hip pads
  • New “O” Resin, high density plastic- as seen on late 2012 models
  • Grey Stainless Steel/injection plastic overmolded grab handles- 4 of them, plus security bar
  • Boat Armor Outfitting- (Seat/seat Brackets, welded floor support, Thermo Uchannel, 4pound density walls, Uni-shock Bulkhead, and Thermo seat)
  • Nalgene Water Bottle
