To call this great new design a kids creek boat is misleading. Really, it's a small person river runner that's well adapted for creeking, designed with the latest most progressive creek boat ideas, combined with a planing hull, in a package that's downsized.

A little more than a decade ago, an entire class of boat simply disappeared: the playful river runner. These were truly great boats because they bridged that gap between a hard core creek boat, and a play boat. They could run fairly hard rapids, while remaining entertaining and easy to paddle, and muck about in.

You might wonder why we called this the Hammer? This is the playboaters creekboat. It’s designed to paddle and feel more like the boat you know, so the adaptation period is easier. But beware, this is not a half-slice, nor a river runner. It’s an all out, teeth-baring creek boat. While it's more focused on tighter lower volume creeks, true to its namesake, the Hammer will handle even the biggest volume runs. This is a creeker focused on improving the paddling experience for everyone, not just a handful of pros.

The Coosa is the answer to the evolving needs of the river and small water kayak fisherman. It’s 11’2” length and rockered hull make it the most sporty and nimble Jackson Kayak to best handle those smaller waters and especially wild rivers and creeks. It’s a signature series design of one of the original “river bassers,” Drew Gregory, who also founded the River Bassin Tournament Trail and is the host of the new adventure show Hooked on Wild Waters. Aside from the hull being river friendly, the open deck layout keeps things simple and your gear easy to reach when the river forces quick decisions. When you reach smoother waters feel free to stand and fish from the Coosa, which boasts solid standability.

With its dugout deck, lowered standing area and extra ‘reserve buoyancy’ the NSP Sonic excels in open ocean races. It’s also extremely capable out of the ocean, on calm water. This board is Travis Grant’s personal favorite and it’s targeted at advanced racers. The NSP Sonic 12’6 x 24 Pro Carbon is a shorter version of the same board, while the 12’6 x 25.5” Carbon is a slightly wider detuned version. The wide chisel shaped tail helps the rider make faster buoy turns in race conditions. Target weight TBC
