The Zen, a brand new river running kayak from Jackson! The Zen fits in nicely between the Hero and Villain series, giving you the initial stability and tracking abilities of a full planning-hulled kayak, along with the length and speed needed for big water paddling, while a recessed chine and progressive rocker profile allows the Zen to carve and turn quickly.

• Beginners will love the stability and forgiveness of the Zen, with ample leg room and comfortable, easy-to-adjust outfitting.

• Intermediates will love the Zen when progressing into bigger and more difficult whitewater, with a boat that is forgiving but not lacking in performance and speed. 
  

• Experts will love the speed and maneuverability of the Zen in big water paddling and river running, with enough room for overnight gear for those multi-day self-support missions.
