My first kayak! A Custom Kraken!
So my goal has finally become a reality. I have officially purchased my first kayak. After months of research I decided on the Jackson Kayak Kraken. Honestly I wasn't fully sold on any of the colors the Kraken came in so I went with a custom. BLACK WIDOW. I think she's one of a kind. Thank you to the guys at OEX MISSION BAY. Let me know what you guys think.

The option to special order custom colors is one of the cooler things that Jackson Kayak does. If you're gonna spend the money on a spendy kayak it might as well be a color you like!

Exactly my thinking all it takes is an extra $200 and a little more patients.

Nice Kayak! I was really considering this over the Hobie Revolution.
Is pricing pretty close to MSRP with the custom color?

Thank you for setting my sights on it at the Fred Hall show! With Tony Lee's expert craftsmanship and your 30 plus years of trial and error knowledge. I knew it was more than just a kayak when I bought it.
