Saturday, Jan. 23rd, was an exciting day on the San
Marcos River. Eric Jackson, of Jackson Kayak, joined TG
Canoes and Kayaks and the Power Olympic Outdoor
Center at the Rio Vista Falls for a day of paddling and
playing. Over 50 people showed up to meet Eric and his
son Dane and watch one of the top playboaters in the
world throw down in a play hole.
The day started off with Rio Vista set up as a slalom
course. 20 kayakers showed up to test their skills in a
timed run of the course. The current US Open Woman’s
slalom champion Michelle Kvanli appeared to show
everyone how an Olympic hopeful gets it done. A handful
of C-1 paddlers were on hand, representing the unique
kneeling crowd.
Around 1pm, the Jackson crew arrived. The next 5
hours were spent watching, meeting, and taking test
drives in some of the 2010 models of Jackson kayaks
provided by TGCK. Eric also brought out the latest
prototype of the Jackson Villain, the soon-to-be-
released creek boat. Several instructors from POOC
were on hand giving impromptu lessons on boating. Eric
and Dane were everywhere at once, shaking hands,
discussing the finer aspects of the kayak models, and
ripping up the waterpark.
The weather was great, the sun was shining, and
smiles were prevalent. A 7 year old jumped in a kayak
for the first time in his life and within an hour, he was
running the falls in a Jackson Fun1, under the watchful
eye of Michelle. Eric was seen throwing down front flips
on the flat water. Everyone seemed to enjoy the
opportunity to hit the water with the best that
whitewater paddling has to offer.
