Some specifics:
The Hull: The elite comes with a Cross-linked plastic for durability
and shape retention (no oilcanning). Planing hull for great initial
stability, surfing, and a predictable ride that the Fun and Star
paddler can jump into and feel right at home. The same performance
characteristics found in the Fun hull is all standard with the ideal
drop chines that are effective but out of the way for creeking, and
thruster chines for extra speed and directional control for front
surfing (yes you can spin it too!). For those creeking this boat, look
for effortless boofs that come from a properly positioned rocker break.
David Knight is a genius, and his genious shows through on this hull!
The Side Walls:
The side walls bring true Jackson Kayak rolling ability to play here
with the addition of a rigidity bar for those wanting to seriously
creek it (Team JK’s Jesse Coombs is already asking when he
can “stomp the big ones” in it!) The flair in this
sidewall is just right to give the beginner roller that extra
confidence, while adding a secondary stability level that keeps you
right side up and paddling. The angle is also set to make side surfing
a hole (on purpose or not) easy, smooth, and non-grabby. There is
nothing to catch while running slides for those who will be creeking
this boat.
The Deck:
Ample footroom is the first thing you’ll notice. Put your BIG
booties/river shoes on and you’ll be comfortable, and safe.
That foot-room also provides you with the volume to keep you on the
surface for safety and confidence. The stern has the volume needed to
keep you looking downstream after drops instead of back into the hole!
You’ll love how the Super Hero busts through holes and stays
on the surface and upright like Superman busting through a wall with a
smile on his face! The smooth, well designed deck keeps your knuckles
and elbows free and clear of impact on even the biggest drops.
The Outfitting:
Boat Armor and Uni-Shock bulkhead on the elite models. Standard/super
linear model has the Uni-shock bulkhead but uses the Standard seating
system. Four friendly grab handles/attachment points for safety, and a
stainless steel security bar for locking down your boat or extracting
in the most challenging situations.
