Liquid Logic Remix 69
Style: River Runner
Paddler weight: 140 - 220 lbs
The Remix is a great beginner boat and also trusted by expedition kayakers on challenging multi-day runs. “Perfect for novices and instructors excited about rolling and proper eddy turns, big water junkies wanting to safely push their limits or experienced racers looking to cash-in, the Remix is a new concept altogether that combines the clear advantages of a relatively narrow and longer hull platform with modern chine placement to create an unrivaled comfortable, stable and responsive package.” Liquid Logic Kayaks
Liquid Logic Jefe
Style: Creek Boat / River Runner
Paddler weight: 130 - 180 lbs
The Jefe is more of a creek boat design than river runner and has a nice auto-boof nose. This boat has a round bottom, but is short enough that it surfs pretty well.
Jackson Hero
Style: River Runner
Paddler weight and height: 130 - 180
“Want to push your skills to the next level but struggle to steer a long boat? The Hero is here for you. The boat is as short as some playboats but with soft edges and high volume shape, giving you the stability and rocker profile you would want in a creek boat, but without all the added length. What does that mean? It turns on a dime, is lighter for carrying, and offers a ton of stability thanks to its wide hull. The idea behind the Hero is to make your life easier when on the water. For a new paddler this boat is nimble and incredibly stable so if you are looking for added confidence take a Hero with you.” Jackson Kayaks
Jackson Karma L
Style: River Runner / Creek Boat
Paddler weight: 165 - 225
“Jackson Kayak’s latest Creek Boat takes a big leap forward to give you groundbreaking speed and hard-carving edges while maintaining our tradition of easy-paddling designs. The Karma is fast, stable, and easily boofs over anything in its way. The planing hull makes it impervious to boils and cross-currents while the narrow bow-shape softens the landings. This fast yet friendly design gives paddlers of every skill level the confidence to push the clock or just your limits.” Jackson Kayaks
Jackson Zen L (newer style)
Style: River Runner / Creek Boat
Paddler weight: 165 - 225
“The 2015 Zen bridges the gap between river runner and creek boat and offers a new tier in speed and performance. The sidewalls are higher than the previous model giving it much improved stability. The added volume and bow rocker keep you higher on the surface. The Zen has held onto its fast, light maneuverability but now allows you to fly up and over rocks, holes and waves better than ever. Whether you are looking for a forgiving, easy to roll all around kayak while just getting started or wanting a sporty river runner that surfs as well as it creeks, the 2015 Zen is for you.” Jackson Kayaks
