The Jackson Fun Runner is the newest addition to the Jackson Kayak whitewater family. The Fun Runner is a throw back to a more classic whitewater kayak design that is a great choice for beginners or intermediate paddlers looking for a fast and forgiving kayak that doesn't have the bulk or sluggishness of a modern creeker-style kayak.
Thanks to its long planning hull design, the Fun Runner gives you a stable and lightweight river running platform is still performance minded and extremely comfortable to boot. If your main goal is making down the river upright, this is the boat for you! But don't think that just because it's stable and forgiving that it's sluggish to paddle. The Fun Runner loves to surf big, glassy, fast waves, as well as eddy hop and carve it's way down your favorite stretch of Class II-IV whitewater.
A big step towards river running
from the Fun, but still keeping the great surfing characteristics of the
JK playboats, the Fun Runner is just that- A really Fun river Runner.
Since it is nearly a foot longer than the Fun, and nearly a foot shorter
than most creekers, it is positioned right in the middle for length,
speed, and maneuverability.
The Fun Runner helps complete the river running category for Jackson
Kayak in good form.
