Jackson Star or Jackson Allstar? 15 years 4 weeks ago #30465

Hi All,

Im thinking about getting one or the other im 5'10/5'11 and am 65kg

Anyone have any experience with either of the boats? Would I be able to fit the Star at my height? I know im the right weight for it just the height issue , or would it be easier to go for the Allstar? even though I might be abit light in it.

Any comments appeciated :) There is no Jacksons Stars on the scene where Im based ive paddled allstars before though.

Im just on 6foot 65kgish and couldn't even fit in the star lol. So i bought an allstar and what a boat it is!!! On moving water and on waves it comes into its own its perfectly balanced in every direction. back end is easy to squirt and stalling is easy as!

I'm about 70kg but i found that the allstar is much better suited and paddling it, i found myself catching waves that others couldn't and popping out bigger loops because of the extra volume, it does make it harder to throw around on the flat but getting the allstar is defintely the right call for you in my opinion
