Our Sportiest River Runner- the Fun Runner gives you a stable, comfortable, lightweight river runner that is also a blast to paddle downriver, surf, or zip around from eddy to eddy! This boat is for you if you prefer to stay upright, but you arent looking for a tank to run the river in. This is as sporty as we feel we can go and provide the paddler wanting to keep comfort levels to a maximum both mentally and physically. We opted for a medium volume package that will keep you floating on the surface and the boat horizontal, but put a full planing hull on it to provide a super fun surfing platform.
If you want to river run easily, surf waves and holes in control, but want more speed, room, and ease of staying upright than other river running playboats, this is for you. A big step towards river running from the Fun, but still keeping the great surfing characteristics of the JK playboats, the Fun Runner is just that- A really Fun river Runner. Since it is nearly a foot longer than a fun, and nearly a foot shorter than most creekers it is positioned right in the middle for length, speed, and maneuverability. This boat is instruction and learning friendly, while it also performs beautifully for the most advanced paddlers. The Fun Runner is built from scratch from the ground up with a friendly planing hull and effective chines/edges, as well as a roomy foot area as part of a sleek low profile deck for surfing and keeping the boats weight to a minimum. The Fun Runner helps complete the river running category for Jackson Kayak in good form.
