What does the underside look like?
Over every mountain there is a path, although it may not be seen from the valley

I have not paddled it yet. But I will let you all know what I think about as soon as I get on the water with it. I will post a pic of the underside tonight when I get home. They advertise that anyone can stand and fish in this kayak. Check out the videos on youtube and at jacksonkayak.com. I picked it up for night fly fishing the docks. Lots of open space in the standing area and not much to get my fly line wrapped on.

I watched the Walkthrough Promo on Youtube for this today and it looked pretty cool. Their website lists Bill Jackson's as a dealer. Curious to hear your feedback on it....especially how it rides with that seat up.

Is there a sponsership we have to know about before reading reviews?

Capitalization is the difference between helping your Uncle Jack off a horse, and helping your uncle jack off a horse.

No sir. No sponsorship by any kayak manufacturer. I went that route before. Too many great kayaks out there to be stuck to only one. Unless they make it worth it. Lol

Good on ya. That wasn't a shot btw. It just makes sense to ask when boats are reviewed by folks that guide. Looking forward to you review.

The flat bottom surprised me a bit. Would love to give it a quick paddle when you have the time, Steve. Let's see how a guy with little balance handles it.
