That is an impressive boat.

Jackson makes an awsome kayak. I have had the pleasure of paddling the cusa down a moderate class 2 white water river and fished the whole way. Paddle down some rapids, spin 180 at the bottom and pitch a bait up the same rapid. Super stable. I also brought a cuda with me to San Diego a few months ago, it was great. The seat is super comfy. With the seat in the high position I never felt unstable. The best part of the yak was the tracking and the speed. It really impressed me? I haven't tried the big tuna yet but I heard that it was great. Jackson is made in the USA and has been on the white water scene for a long time.

Sweet boat. Like the deck layout for the rods.

PAL Donated one to HOW San Diego. It is a very nice boat however everybody who has paddled it tends to agree it is not really a boat youd want for La Jolla.

Jackson is very popular on the gulf coast and such. Never hear any complaints about them.
