Jackson Kayak Star Elite Whitewater Kayak (2010)
DESCRIPTION
If you want to spin, blunt, cartwheel or loop, the Jackson Star Series is the choice for you. This design delivers on JKs promise to always stay well in the lead for easy to use, comfortable, high performance playboats.
This version features a basic outfitting package including a padded seat instead of Sweet Cheeks, a minicell bulkhead instead of Happy Feet, and an adjustable plastic seat track instead of the rigid bar spine. Still a great boat at a great price minus the bells and whistles!
- The hull is made from crosslinked polyethylene. No other major whitewater brand uses crosslink, despite its superior impact strength and abrasion resistance. Why? Crosslink is more expensive, takes longer to process, and requires more highly-skilled molders. Superlinear is tough. Crosslink is tougher and can be molded a bit lighter.
- Elites feature a seat with â?oSweet Cheeksâ??, Jacksonâ?Ts unique, custom-fit butt-pad, for all-day comfort.
- The Elite seat sits atop a composite beam that integrates into the foam walls, providing unparalleled hull stiffness and total outfitting integrity.
- Elite Stars have â?oHappy Feetâ??, another Jackson exclusive. Happy Feet are a customizable footbrace system that not only adjusts for length, but actually contours to fit your foot shape and angle.
- WARRANTY: Three year limited warranty with hull replacement at no charge for first two years.
