Jason Cole has kindly agreed for his hip pad and footrest modifications to be included on Unsponsored.
Extended Hip Pads
I added a couple of 10x12x6cm blocks of PE foam to bolster the hip pads, and found a use for the old bungees (attached to the bottom of the seat) to retain them in place.
Jason Cole kindly agreed for his Jackson Kayak Backrest upgrade guide to be included on Unsponsored. It looks like it could be a very worth while upgrade for older Jackson boats.
On numerous occasions I’d been at Lee Valley, with the backrest pulled in tight, thinking, “wouldn’t it be nice if it was just a bit bigger?”. It also kept slipping down, which I’d mitigated by fitting toggles, but it was still not 100%.
The other day I visited WWTCC and sat in a new Jackson Karma, bloody huge boat! But I was really taken by the new-style backrest – which are sold as kits. They didn’t have any in stock at WWTCC so got one from Squarerock as I was in a hurry to get one.
The Zen is Jackson’s medium volume river running machine. The kayak is designed to sit between the full on creeker the Karma and the Star playboat range.
Jackson has designed the Zen to be a performance river runner that is capable of tackling most grades of water. Having spent a great deal of time paddling the Liquid Logic Remix and Wavesport Diesel over the last couple of years I was interested in how the Zen would perform.I paddled the Zen 75 over the course of a couple of months in a number of different white water and flat-water location. I sit right within the middle of the recommended weight range.
My thoughts on the Jackson Zen appear in the August edition of ThePaddler.

Those of you who have followed the site for many years will know that I usually only ever use Playboater spraydecks. I have owned a few and they are always superb. When I initially tried my Immersion Research Klingon Empire Spraydeck I was simply blown away. But how is it 1 year on?
My review of the Jackson Karma creek boat is in the July issue of ThePaddler. Due out (online) on the 13th.
Info on the 2014 Rockstar is now out.
THE ALL NEW ROCKSTAR!
Simply our best hull design yet! Built shorter, lighter and aimed towards ease of use, comfort and skills progression, the NEW Rockstar is the new standard. EJ and Dave Knight have reshaped its hull to perform with better balance, responsiveness and with easier edging and carving power! Our new ergonomic design, stiffer make, enhanced hull support and customizable outfitting gives paddlers a much more comfortable paddle position, takes advantage of body strengths, lends to a stronger body/boat interface and provides an easier roll.
