Jackson Kayak’s High-Performance Series
Jackson Kayak has solidified its reputation by developing specialized platforms for the most demanding environments, from technical river fishing to world-class freestyle competition.
The Coosa Series: River Fishing Reimagined
Designed specifically for the evolving needs of river anglers, the Coosa X serves as the flagship for 2026. This model emphasizes a stable yet maneuverable hull optimized for moving water, featuring the new Comfort Seat 5.0 for improved ergonomics and a lower center of gravity. For those seeking hands-free performance, the Coosa FD integrates the Flex Drive Mark IV pedal system, which is uniquely engineered to retract the propeller automatically when navigating shallow obstacles or beaching.
Whitewater Innovation: Performance & Progression
In the world of whitewater, the Rockstar V continues Jackson’s legacy as a premier freestyle playboat. Engineered for both competitive athletes and those looking to master their first vertical moves, it features a "loosest-ever" hull for effortless spins and the Bees Knees Thigh Hook System for maximum control. For all-around river running, the Jackson Flow has emerged as a favorite, utilizing design elements from the legendary Gnarvana to provide a high-rockered, confidence-inspiring ride that excels in both technical carving and steeper creeks.
