The Villain is Jackson's new big, bad boy creeking and river running machine. Looking to run the gnar? The Villain is your kayak.

The Villain features an ultra-fast, yet stable and forgiving displacement hull with just enough edge to carve you out of that monster hydraulic you just paddled into, yet round enough to not trip you up on eddy lines or sleepers. Add to that a super boofable rocker profile, Uni-Shock bulkhead for easy adjustability and superb piton protection, and super comforable and adjustable outfitting. The Villain is the perfect kayak for hairy steep creeks and big water marathons.

The Villain comes in two sizes, the Villain (Large) and the Villain S (small).

For 2012, Jackson has switched to Linear molding only and has eliminated the Elite models. The Villain now comes standard with a foam seat pad. Sweet Cheeks seat bags can still be purchased as an add-on accessory.
