Jackson's 2016 Rockstar has been out for for almost a year now, so it's high time we put together our thoughts on the boat and give you a review. If you want to know how this boat performs for the 250 pound paddler, read on!
Adam Chappell has had his new 2014 Jackson Kayak Rockstar at the beach in San Diego recently. While he loves his 2012 All Star and his 2010 carbon All Star, he says the new Rockstar is even faster on a wave. Judging from the awesome moves he is pulling in the videos, he's not lying. Looks like an awesome boat and I can't wait to try one!
So not only did Jackson come out with a new, awesome update to their Rockstar playboats, they also had carbon versions constructed by Murky Water. Watch Nick Troutman and Dane Jackson tear it up all over the US and Canada in their 2014 Jackson Kayak Carbon Rockstars. Lots of Insanely huge air and epic combo moves.
The Jackson Kayak team bring us a video recap of their times at the recent 2013 Gauley Fest. I already knew that the Jackson's were just amazing boaters but they always seem to one-up themselves. Watch as they absolutely kill it on one of the greatest rivers in the world. Just epic moves being thrown.
Wow, is all I have to say about this video. Jackson Kayak team member Hunter Katich brings us another awesome whitewater kayaking video from the Chattahoochee Whitewater Park in Columbus, GA. Watch Hunter, the 2013 ICF Jr. Mens World Champion, and friends train, play and have some Extreme CUT BAIT Carnage! Killer video.
Jackson Team member Hunter Katich is back in another great kayaking video. In this one, he is throwing around the brand new awesome 2014 Jackson Kayak Rockstar on the Chattahoochee River in Columbus, GA. Just absolutely phenomenal freestyle skills being shown in one sick boat. Enjoy.
Wow is all I have to say to this video. Jackson Kayak team member Hunter Katich shows us all just how awesome the new 2014 Rockstars are to throw around. HUGE flatwater loops, awesome combos and the craziest looking roll I've ever seen. I cannot wait to try one of these bad boys!
Check out this cool whitewater kayaking vid by Jackson Kayak team members Clay Wright and Nicholas Troutman. They found a new wave to surf on the Caney Fork in TN which has always been there but was never deep enough to surf. The recent high water changed that and they were able to throw all kinds of tricks in their brand new 2014 Rockstars.
So you've probably seen quite a few posts about the new 2014 Jackson Kayak Rockstar. Well, watch Stephen Wright get a record breaking 2160 point ride at the 2014 Payette River Games in his Competition model Rockstar. Way to go Stephen! Also, check out the results for the Freestyle and Downriver/Boatercross.
The new Jackson 2014 Rock Star has been released and we have all the specs! The new yak is shorter, slicer, and has some nice changes to the outfitting. Take a moment to read about it and see what boat helped the Jackson riders take top honors in the freestyle competition at the GoPro Mountain Games.
Check out this video where Eric Jackson tests out the brand new 2014 Jackson Rock Star at Kelly's Whitewater park in Cascade, Idaho. I know that the top feature or "main hole" is awesome there but watch how much air EJ gets in the new Rock Star while doing loops. Going HUGE!!!
At 6'1" and 170-175 lbs, I'm in between sizes when it comes to Jackson playboats. Because I am not Clay Wright nor Eric Jackson, I need a playboat that is a good fit and easy to huck around. Only way to figure out which one is the best fit for me is to try them all!
