Distance Paddling at Its Finest! by JK Team | Apr 1, 2020 | JAdventures Main Banner | 1 comment For Immediate Release- Spring 2020 Jackson Kayak is taken innovated measures to help ensure our paddlers are practicing social distancing through these trying times. The Distanced Duo and Big Stretch are modified kayaks off our Dynamic Duo and Big Tuna Line. Both of these kayaks embody the 6ft Rule between paddlers as recommended by the CDC. From our team: “The Distancing Duo was such a fun ride, not only did I follow the safety measures of 6ft but its just far enough apart that you can no longer hear each other in the rapids, adding an exciting element of disconnect.” – Dane Jackson For more information on the original Big Tuna: https://hub.jacksonkayak.com/products/big-tuna/ For more information on the Dynamic Duo: https://www.paddlerguide.com/product/jackson-kayak-dynamic-duo/ or About Jackson Kayak: Jackson Kayak was founded in 2003 by Eric Jackson and Tony Lunt.

Not a lot of rapids, but big waves and challenging current. I was in the back and when we would eddy out it was a roller coaster–the bow stops and the stern is just flying. Turning out of the eddy was also a challenge. what a ride that was. Reply Submit a Comment Cancel replyYour email address will not be published.
