Why We Like The RockStar 5.0 Kayak

At Backcountry, we're passionate about having fun, which is why we're thrilled with the new-and-improved 2022 Jackson Kayaks Rockstar 5.0 Kayak. It takes our freestyle skills to new heights with explosive pop and incredible airtime. Jackson has combined the best features of their previous playboats to create a game-changing kayak that excels on any wave or hole.

Inspired by the 2014 Rockstar and the legendary 2010 All Star, the 2022 Rockstar 5.0 features a hull that floats higher and provides an easy and effortless paddling experience. The new double-railed drop chine system ensures exceptional planing performance on both large and small waves, offering impressive speed and maneuverability. The kayak's bow allows for precise control in holes and flatwater, and the elevated knees provide ample leg-room and increased volume for impressive airtime.
