Introducing Jackson Kayak's Antix! A new creeking/river running kayak that is fun, easy to paddle, runs the river like a dream but with some groove in the hull design to allow for continual play all the way down! Take your time running rivers has never been more fun as you take advantage of every river wave, hole, splat rock, eddy line, pillow to your hearts content. The Antix turns quickly, squirts, spins, splats, and freewheels like a dream. The Antix is an easy boat to paddle in technical rapids helping you to cross comfort barriers more readily and has you learning to do more playboating moves each time on the water. The hull shape on the Antix makes it an easy kayak to roll. Its forgiving lines allow you to keep upright as you punch to the next level in your river running and play! Will be available in two sizes, medium and large.

This is a kids Rock Star! Sized 1/2 way in between a Shooting Star and Small Rock Star, it fills the gap that has been missing from the industry since the beginning of time. Kids growing through the range from the Fun 1 to the Shooting Star now have the right size boat to graduate after the Shooting Star. This is a 100% performance oriented boat based on the World Championships winning 2016 Rock Star. It is designed to allow kids to learn freestyle, and for those who are already on their way, to perfect it and really shine on their home wave, or in the next World Championships. Lightweight, durable, dry, and comfortable, this 2016 design will be around for many years. Here is what Team Jackson's, Abby Holcomb, has to say about it: "I can't wait until I can paddle this boat! A barely fit in my shooting star so perfect timing! Thank you again! "

Delta is the symbol for change. Three years after the original Blackfly whitewater canoe playboat revolutionized OC-1 freestyle, it was time for a change again. Shorter, lighter, higher volume, easier to edge, get vertical and get airborne, the Blackfly Delta takes open canoe play boating to the next level again. The Blacklfy Delta swept the podium at the 2013 ICF Freestyle World Championships.

The Antix is our first ever playable creeking/river-running kayak. Designed as a river-runner first, the length, volume, and edges are optimized to squirt, be lightweight compared to creek boats, and extremely maneuverable. Paddlers will love this boat on their local runs, replacing the need for a creek boat for many and increasing the fun factor with its playable features.

Think you’re too big to be a Playboater? Think again! Jackson Kayak’s MonStar is based off our ground-breaking 2010 All Star Series but super-sized for the larger paddler. We wanted all paddlers to have access to a playboat that fits, so we designed the MonStar to accommodate paddlers between 210 and 300 pounds. The MonStar is a pure playboat packing 73 gallons into a short but stable platform. It rides nice and high so it’s fast enough to catch waves others sink through and in a hole it’s guaranteed to give you the pop of your life!

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...
