The boat has been used extensively as a river runner and park n play boat and it does well as both. The Super Star, despite being quite short tracks really well and I found it easy to attain eddies and move across the flow without a loss of speed or control.
The outfitting is simple yet effective and setting up the Super Star didn’t take very long with all the bits and bobs supplied. As a result I found that edging and rolling the boat was very easy. The Super Star provides a very stable platform from which moves can be launched and although I am no great playboater I found that aerial moves were pretty easy. I have had to replace one of the backrest cleats due to a breakage but getting hold of a replacement was straight forward. I decided to use foam for the footrest as I prefer the solid feel over beanbag setups. Even with size 12 (UK) feet I find that I can sit in the Super Star for long periods of team without numbness or discomfort.
For 2013 the Jackson Super Star has been redesigned. A review will be coming soon.
