Chuck's new Villain was the showcase piece of the Jackson Kayak booth at the Outddor Retailer show at the Salt Palace convention Center last week! Jackson built the boat to show off the new graphic possibilities for 2011. When it was built, EJ and the staff thought it was so cool, that they put it on a stand in the middle of their booth.
When I saw it there, I was psyched! It also has the Alpenglow Logo on the bottom of it. I know that I'm not a good enough boater to show off, but it's good to know that anyone will be able to order the boat of their dreams next year. I'm going paddling on the South fork or Canyon to break it in tomorrow. When you come in, check it out.
On another note, the new Hero Prototype looked really good. Making changes similar to the Funs' and Stars', it is shorter but faster, it will surface on drops quicker, be even easier to roll and be more comfortable.
Jackson Kayak is a great company to partner with. They are still family owned, have great employees, they are putting a ton of time and effort in to R & D, which is really paying off, and most importantly, are striving to make the sport of kayaking better by putting the customer first.
Thanks JK :)
