Jackson Kayak Rockstar V

Jackson Rockstar V: The Ultimate Freestyle Weapon for Every Skill Level

Rockstar V: The Return of a Legend in a New Form

The Rockstar V pushes the boundaries of playboating and makes fun on the water much more accessible in any setting. The designers at Jackson Kayak engineered this kayak to be incredibly responsive yet user-friendly. The result is a kayak that forgives beginner mistakes but delivers absolutely explosive performance when you push it to the limit.

Shape and Bottom: Perfect carving and freedom for spins

• Double rails: They ensure top-notch carving and precise edge engagement exactly when you need it on the wave.
• Loose hull: The bottom was designed to be as free-flowing as possible—that is, to allow for absolutely smooth and fast spins without unnecessary water resistance.

Outfitting: Jackson Kayak Comfort Systems

Jackson boats are renowned for their interior features, which can be adjusted without tools. Rockstar V takes this to the next level:

• More space: Compared to previous generations, the boat offers more legroom and noticeably greater comfort for the knees.
• Sweet Cheeks Seat System: A unique, adjustable seat system that you can customize to fit your body perfectly for all-day comfort.
• Bees Knees Thigh Hook System: A special system in the thigh rest area that dramatically increases contact with the boat and your overall control of the kayak.
• Sure-Lock Backband System: The lightest and most user-friendly backrest system on the market, which you can tighten with ratchets from anywhere.
• Uni-Shock Bulkhead System: The front mirror is equipped with a patented cushioning system that offers the best shock absorption available on the market today (it protects your ankles in the event of a hard impact).
• Foam Footblock System: A foam footrest system consisting of individual wedges that you can easily arrange to fit the exact length of your legs.

Expert advice: Whitewater freestyle is all about the perfect connection between the paddler and the boat. The Jackson Rockstar V absolutely dominates in this regard thanks to its internal systems (Bees Knees and Sweet Cheeks). If you’re loose in the boat, you’ll never land a good trick. In the Jackson, you literally “lock in,” and every movement you make is immediately transferred to the boat. Plus, the extra legroom means you can stay seated in the boat much longer without that unpleasant tingling sensation, which used to be a huge problem with earlier playboats.
