Jackson Kayak

RockStar 5.0 Kayak - 2022

It's no secret we love to play here at Backcountry, so it makes sense that we love getting out on the new-and-improved 2022 Jackson Kayaks Rockstar 5.0 Kayak to progress our freestyle skills with more pop and air than ever before. Jackson combined the best qualities of all their older playboats into a sweet, new shape that's a game-changer for every wave and hole you can find. For 2022, the hull takes inspiration from boats like the 2014 Rockstar and the legendary 2010 All Star for a higher-floating, easy to paddle feel. Jackson's new double-railed drop chine system gives you a very high planing performance, on big waves and small, keeping this boat fast and loose and ready to hop effortlessly into the air. The bow makes for easy control in holes and flatwater, while the knees stay nice and high for lots of leg-room and extra big-air volume.
