Jackson Kayak Uni Shock BulkHead System

Friday, February 13th, 2009

Jackson White water kayaks are designed  to create a safer white water river runner and creek  kayak. Take a look at this short film by Eric Jackson as he talks about this injury preventing bulkhead system. This system makes running white water in a kayak safer and more fun.  This bulkhead system can be found in the Hero Series and Rocker Series by Jackson Kayak.

What our customers and friends like the most about this whitewater bulk head system is the ease of use. Since the bulkhead is based on a simple adjustment, rope and jam cleat, this makes for a comfortable system that is very very easy to use. The Uni-Shock Bulkhead by Jackson kayak is one of the best systems on the market today. Come into Alder Creek Kayak and Canoe to Demo a Jackson White Water Boat today!

Wave Sport Diesel 60 70 and 80 !!

Friday, January 23rd, 2009

As of last week Alder Creek Kayak and Canoe has three new Wavesport Kayaks. The new Diesel White Water Kayaks are here! The Wave Sport Diesel 60 is fit for the smaller paddler while the Wavesport Diesel 70 and Diesel 80 are more similar to the old 65 and 75. There are some great new features to this white water boat that make it faster, more predictable, and still has that same ol’ trusty feel as before.

As soon as the boats came to Alder Creek we noticed the differences right away. First of all the deck looks very different. Not asflat as before, helps to resurface, and keeps this boat feeling more comfortable if the bow or stern submerge. The change was in the peaked deck. The old Wave Sport Deisel had a flater stern deck that doesn’t resurface like  new design.

The Wavesport Diesel is a faster boat because of the modified rocker and flared sidewalls in the bow and stern. This translates to a faster kayak and one that my feel more maneuverable while surfing or running the river.
