About myself

awreet, im a boater that lives in south west scotland and i enjoy big rivers in small boats. i have paddled in the alps, hope to paddle in norway during the summer and uganda next summer if my plans come together.

About the test environment

i tested the jackson superstar firstly on the alt kinglass a tributery to the orchy. and then the pattack. and then four season white water course at teeside.

Review

as a paddler of the 4 fun another jackson boat and being in love with it i was expecting big things from the superstar. paddling straight on to a grade 4 ish river was probably not the best plan i've ever had but the star made it really bad. i was backloped twice before the main fall and headed backward only the cries of my paddling buddies urged me into the smallest of eddies at the top. i wasent amused. however on the pattack i was very happy soaking up the river and every drop with ease. however the teeside courese made my mind up, to get rid of the boat.

Conclusion

For me the boat is unbalanced, too bulky and way too much volume. im not a small guy but chucking the boat around wasn't easy by any means. i would give the boat about 2 1/2 out of 5. not too hot
