Who's it for? Life’s adventurers – and take all your kit with you Calling life’s adventurers… The 13’2” Explorer+ is the ultimate board for exploration, loaded with features and conceptualised with epic adventures in mind. With its high sides, large volume and narrower width, it’s a high-speed cruiser, designed for competent paddlers. It’s got cargo tie-downs front and back for all your gear (check out our dry bags), and under those are extra-grippy deck sections that help keep your cargo in place. Like the 12’6” Explorer, it has a removable fin, a nose runner fin to aid tracking in side winds, and two rear runner fins to cancel out ‘tail drift’ when the board is loaded with gear. And of course, it comes in our easily transportable backpack. Go explore! MSL fusion composite and airtight coating New for 2016, MSL involves fusing a second layer of hard-wearing polymer to the dropstitch core at the raw material stage, removing hand gluing errors. The high-tech industrial process also saves almost 2kg in weight and makes the boards stiffer at lower pressures.

Speed, stability, and performance are the first words that come to mind when riding the 2016 Cadence RT. The Cadence RT features a displacement hull allowing it to easily cut through the water with more glide and less resistance on each paddle stroke. The board also features a soft full-length deck pad for maximum comfort. The Cadence is the perfect training platform for getting an intensive, all-encompassing core workout while maintaining a top-of-the-line competitive edge.

Designed for cruising the waterways with comfort and efficiency, with loads of storage and convenient accessories, the Tupelo is your premier, feature laden recreational kayak. Like touring and whitewater kayaks, the Tupelo comes sized for the paddler, with the 12.5 for larger paddlers and the lighter, narrower 12.0 ideal for medium or smaller paddlers. Ideal to match one of each for a couple. Both feature Jackson's removable and super comfy Elite Seat, with adjustable lumbar support. YakAttack tracks around the deck allow for you to accessorize with RAM products like rod holders, GPS, camera mounts, smart phones and more. Versatility, comfort, ease of use....the Tupelo has it all!

To quote Tosh Arwood, head of the instruction program at NOC: "It's exciting to imagine a crossover that has the heritage of the Karma and Karma UL in it". This will be two boat series, this being the larger, to replace the Rogues, and need to look and be more whitewater oriented than the Rogues but still maintain stability and user friendliness for beginnners. With the Karma (and UL/RG) being universally praised for its predictability and stability, we have a great starting point. A similar hull profile to the Karma, stretched out a bit for a longer, more versatile boat. Maintains look, parting lines, and similar rocker profile to Karma . Feature rich...day hatch with pod, possible short recessed YakAttack rail beside cockpit, etc to set apart from competition and justify higher price. Primarily targeted to the novice to intermediate paddler, this boat will also double as a multi-day trip for advanced paddlers who want a shorter and more nimble boat than the Karma RG.

Jackson Kayak’s most loved Riviera just got even more FUN, now available as a Tandem. The “Rivi-T” offers the same comfortable high-back seat on both the front and back sitting location. A tandem sit on top allows you to work together when paddling, or simply bring someone along for a ride. Whether a spouse, kid, or even pet, the Rivi-T is fun for the whole family. Available with two day hatches, bungee system on the back for a cooler or other gear, this kayak is ready to hit the water.

The upcoming World Freestyle Kayak Championships on Garburator Wave in Canada has fueled our desire to make the ultimate wave surfing machine. We have completed this mission and are now rolling out our best freestyle kayak to date by far, the new Rock Star! A narrower, faster, looser, easier to take off hull is the platform that everything is built on. Easy Edge to edge transfers that are reminiscent of the 2010 All-Star/Super Star, 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 in general will be a joy if you are just learning your first tricks, or you want to win the next World Championships, or just show off to friends. I have not been this excited about a playboat in a long time. It is our...

The Kilroy LT is a thermoformed version of the popular Jackson Kilroy kayak. The Kilroy made a splash as a sit-inside kayak but with convenient utility features normally associated with our sit on top kayaks. Using thermoformed plastic you get a platform that is a bit longer and wider than the original and an even more rigid hull. This new and improved Kilroy will paddle even better and the thermoformed technology means it is also even lighter! Based on the Cuda 12 hull, tailored for all outdoorsman - the kayak fisherman, hunter, wildlife photographer, birder, etc. The Kilroy has become a flat-water “go-to” kayak. Featuring a unique molded floor system, an interchangeable front and rear hard deck system. A rigid dashboard deck with tackle storage, 'glove box' like storage bin underneath, and other fishing features. The Kilroy LT includes standard YakAttack tracks and Screwball and RAM rod holder. The Kilroy LT’s gloss finish will turn heads on the water and the thermoformed technology will make for a stiffer, faster kayak. The Kilroy, a groundbreaking design has broken new ground with this thermoformed version. Welcome the Kilroy LT!

Kids have often asked us, "how come grown ups get all cool stuff on their fishing kayaks!?" Well, young anglers, we've listened and just like we did with our kids whitewater kayak line we have made a specific model for those energetic lighter weight anglers - the Skipper. We often noticed that kids were kayak fishing in shorter, adult-width, kayaks that are really meant for adults. These young anglers find these kayaks slow and hard to paddle which makes it challenging to keep up with mom or dad. With the Skipper, we've designed its hull from the ground up with the youth fisherman in mind, making it narrow enough so they can easily keep up with adults without getting too worn out or frustrated. The Skipper also offers a stable enough platform for standing while casting just like mom and dad do in our larger adult focused versions. It's no secret that our kids look up to us and want to use what mom or dad use in any sport or activity and this is why we've made the Skipper mirror our larger models with the following standard Jackson Kayak features: comfortable, smaller, hi/lo Elite seat...

"RG" - (Rock Garden, River Expedition): Based of the highly successful Karma UL, the Karma RG is a play boat for the ocean...and an expedition boat for extended whitewater and mixed water ventures.. Its a blast for paddling in rock gardens, exploring sea caves, running pour overs and surfing ocean waves.

The Strike is a zero compromise long distance flatwater racing machine. Developed for pure function and top average speeds, it’s the formula needed to win races.After intense research and development over the last year, including hydrodynamic studies and diligent testing of our Pro Team, our Falcon flatwater line evolved into the Strike. A line that consists of two highly tuned 14’0” feet carbon hulls in widths of 24” and 26.75” .A deep cutting bow flawlessly separates both glassy and choppy waters, whilst the rounded bottom into V releases the tail so it can glide unhindered across the surface. The new nose section is key for the high average and top speeds that are easily maintained with the Strike. The flaps on either side keep the nose up and the waterline clean and uninterrupted with each stroke. As a consequence, we were able to reduce the rocker curve to a minimum, which resulted in a maximized waterline for super consistent glide, a winning factor from start to finish. The new bow design prevents water coming onboard, as a result we were able to reduce the curve of the deck. Less sensitivity to wind and chop are additional improvements to further...
