Re: Jackson is in the Canoe Business!!
How about editing that title to say "C1 outfitting from Jackson Kayaks"?
Interesting... nice to see something fresh out there for conversions.

I think EJ has heard from a lot of folks, myself included on the Gauley and elsewhere how badly a C1 saddle is needed in the market. I am really glad that they are offering this product and I think it will go a long way for the sport of C-boating.
I think Cboats.net should give itself a pat on the back for keeping this community strong!!!!

That's awesome. I was talking to EJ and Dane about this a few months ago. They were quite excited about it. I'm glad they got the ball rolling. This is a real treat.

the company with the worst kayak outfitting in history happens to be the one who makes c1 outfitting now.... bummer...
hopefully the base is solid, that backband and those "thighstraps" (read, re-purposed backband) look terrible. They should get in the business of rigging sailboats, not kayaks/c1's...
but props to them for actually doing it... seems like everyone else thinks it's a joke and a waste of time (which it probably is financially).

Jury is out until I C it and get in it. Wonder who, if any, will carry it? Will it fit generic or specific, or few? (People and boats).
Maybe someone from Jackson might check into the forum and provide an update. Just a thought!

I wonder what Big Dog kayaks C1 setup looks like compared to this, spoke with a dealer of theirs at the Deerfield river fest from RI said he hasnt seen it yet and his boss wont order any says its a waste of money to Import. Even though I was like the 7th person to ask about them.....think jackson might take their market if they dont move a little quicker markets only so big.

Let's all TRY it out before we start trashing it... we the community have been asking for YEARS for a company to step up and produce some decent C1 outfitting... and Dane (and EJ) are certainly very competent CBoaters....
I'm hoping someone gets a good look IN PERSON and gets to try one out, then can report with a bit more confidence on how the back band and straps work, as well as the general feel and fit an finish.
Though I own zero conversions I'm almost tempted to try and track down one myself... but I think I've acquired enough boats this year, and am sending out a decent sized check in support of the latest Canoe Movie as promised to John and company.
So, who will step up??
