Best All-Round Whitewater Kayak? Jackson Kayak Antix 2.0 Review

I'm getting ready to buy a Antix 2.0 small for my daughter. she just graduated a year of kayaking school over the year she was able to try out a few different brands of kayak and said she definitely wants a Jackson antix 2.0 she went from never paddling to being able to hand roll in under a year and paddled 9 different rivers she said that the antix can do it all well. now I just need to find a decent price for one on the west Coast so I can pick one up for her

6’4” 290lbs with a large Antix and I love it!

I bought one a couple months ago. All my instructor did was try to scare me about it. She’s like a Catholic school nun. 😂 No fun! I want to take lessons from you.

Awesome video, I would love to see you review the pyranha scorch x if it's possible

Currently still own an antix 1 & 2 & rewind. As a previous jackson customer of many years sadly the 2.0 is shockingly soft. The plastics are nasty and for the price its put me off the brand altogether. The antix 1 is so much tougher and fun, the rewind is a far superior boat in plastics and capability and outfitting. Is it worth the money, great boat but for longevity, it gets a thumbs down.

It looks similar as Dagger RPM kayak

You should do a paddletv episode at Croton River Echo Canoe Launch in Croton on Hudson,NY here in the United States 🇺🇸

Very nice 👍

Thanks for the info - Production of video is awesome!

So popular… don’t wait around for a used one, cuz it ain’t gonna happen. $1600 is a lot of coin fo’ sho’.

YES!!! more WW boats please !

I just picked up a Dagger RPM Max and a Jackson Super Hero. I know they're two different style boats, but the Jackson is by far more comfortable and better outfitted. I'm looking forward to getting it on the water, as soon as I can track down a skirt for it. The skirt I have for my WS Tsunami 165 fits on the Dagger RPM.

Awesome video as always! Thanks Ken!

That looks awesome and fun. But definitely for a seasoned Kayaker... me, not so much. 🤣

Is the bulkhead permanently attached? Could it be easily and nodestructively removed to be replaced with airbags to make more room? I'm a bit taller than you are an always run into leg room issues with whitewater boats. I have an old Jackson Rock Star Sumo and I have to cram my legs into the thing like a can of sardines. Whitewater is worth it but the thing is pain from the moment I get into the boat.

👋😎👍💦

Thanks, Ken. That looks like a blast. 👍👍🛶🙂

We're you able to sit in a dagger Rewind and compare the 2?
