Jackson Hero and Super Hero Features:
The Hero and Super Hero were created to make river running and creeking easier and more fun than ever before.
The Hero is a uber-stable, sporty, quick, easy to drive, simple to roll, and instantly boofable kayak
A very short package that is surprisingly fast, nimble, and just plain easy to paddle is the result of a very well thought out hull package for starters.
It is as wide and flat as possible, while still allowing the paddler full edge control both on the water and on rocks.
The refined drop chines allow for snappy eddy turns and incredibly easy to control ferries and surfing.
The rocker profile improves all the 'pro's of the last generation Hero AND provides an effortless boof designed for shallow landings or crossing sticky holes.
Specific improvements over the last version are: Faster, better boofing, easier to control, better surfing, greatly improved creeking ability, lighter weight
Both the Hero and Super Hero are outfitted with the “Uni-Shock Bulkhead” system and “Boat Armor Outfitting”
