I'm the happy owner of a Big Tuna JKQ15212B717. I started kayaking in 1965 with a home built Folbot. I've cruised the Bay of Monterrey in an eclipse and now I have the Big Tuna. Fore Bay, the Gulf of Maine and the Kennebek River are now my paddle ground. This is the best Kayak I have ever owned! Keep up the great work! Made in the heart of the USA! PS, watch for my vids : )

My Cude 14 is such a fine vessel. Literally everyone that i kayak with complains about how they can't keep up with me, and the storage options for long trips are just great. I don't know that I would ever buy another make of kayak, it's been better than every other kayak I put it up against.

So no one notices (or at least mentions) that Eric Jackson (as in founder of Jackson Kayaks) commented here! Big thanks to EJ for founding and running a company that continues to innovate and elevate all forms of kayaking.

You got me with this video. Just took delivery of a 2015 Coosa HD.  A lot of little things that were well thought out make it a awesome total package in that model. Keep up the good work.

I love the fact these are made in the USA by a company who takes pride in their product. It is actually one of the reasons I consider Jackson Kayaks first. I love my Jackson Cuda 12 and used it more than any other kayak this year. I sold two non Jackson Kayaks and will be looking to replace them by Spring 2015. Keep up the great work Jackson. #JacksonKayak +Eric Jackson

+Andrea Caocci I recently ordered a 2015 Cuda 14 in Illuminati.  Dealer is arranging shipping, and it should ship tomorrow.  Jackson told me they have a very limited quantity of the Illuminati plastic on hand, and they won't be getting anymore.  So when the last of it is used, they are done with that color option.  Give them a call and ask if they have any left.

Great video! It's great to see the level of craftsmanship that goes into each individual boat. I've been building carbon fiber airplanes for almost 10 years now and was hoping to see a little of your composite boat manufacturing in the video (I think you make a carbon fiber playboat, but could be wrong). Anyway, awesome product and awesome team!

EXACTLY why I wanted one of your boats! I already wanted the Kilroy, but the more I learned about Jackson, the more I knew I was getting the right boat from the right company. It will be here next week!

molding the kayaks is a very skilled job- getting the heat, timing, oven action, etc. etc. all exact to make the plastic flow right isn't easy... Master boat builders not only "screw things together" but they trim, cut, drill, rivet, glue, use a router, vacuum form, and hand adjust everything in the boat. Think it is easy? Try building one and getting it through Quality Control!

Impressive that they do so much by hand, employee American workers,and use American parts :) A little sad that being a "Master boat builder" involves little more than screwing plastic fittings together :(

This is a very old technique that automotive companies used to employ. Such as Mercedes AMG motors alll assembled by one individual. I think the person who build the boat should have his signiture on it.
