A Star is Born!!!

September 7, 2004

Finally I have a full on rodeo boat for my daughter, Emily! You have to see it to appreciate what it looks like. I hate to admit it but a good word for it is “cute”. I prefer to call it kick butt, or full on, or radical, but, I’m afraid it is quite cute like the Fun 1.

This boat will bring the vertical and aerial realm to so many small kayakers that have struggled with boats that are just too big for them. The Star is the second from last kayak in the small person category brought to you by Jackson Kayak. We now have the Fun 1, Fun 1.5, and 2 Fun. The Star is bigger than the Fun 1.5, but smaller than the 2 Fun. It is only 5’8” long and is only 25 pounds so even the most petite person can boss it around like they want to.

Here are a bunch of photos of the only person in history to paddle a Star- Emily Jackson!
