Jackson Kayak

Rock Star V Kayak - 2025

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

"The Rock Star V is a pure play machine. Whether I’m training on flatwater or throwing big tricks in a hole, it’s got the looseness and pop I need. It’s forgiving enough for beginners but still packed with performance for competitors. Plus, the Sweet Cheeks seat makes it insanely comfortable during long sessions."

When we want to surf, spin, and loop our way through a river day, the Jackson Kayak Rock Star V Kayak is our freestyle weapon of choice. Designed to make every play environment more fun—waves, holes, flatwater, and downriver—it blends Jackson’s freestyle heritage with a progressive shape that helps us unlock our best tricks with less effort. From your first stern squirt to polished competition runs, this boat is made to throw down.

The Rock Star V includes thoughtful design updates that boost both comfort and control. A roomier cockpit improves knee and foot space, while the Bees Knees thigh hooks and Sure-Lock backband deliver dialed-in connectivity. The new double-rail hull design makes carving crisp, while the looser platform encourages quick spins and explosive launches. With sizing options to fit a wide range of paddlers, it’s easy to dial in your perfect fit and just get playing.
