Best Gear Gifts for Kayakers

If there are two things kayakers love, it's upgrading their gear and talking about upgrading their gear. With that in mind, we've compiled the best whitewater kayaking gear updates so you can give the best gifts for your favorite kayaker.

The creekboater, playboater, or river runner in your life will want any one of these products on our lists. Guaranteed.

How do we know? We asked our very own favorite kayakers, JR Jennings, Nick Gilbert and Bobby Kuepper, what they were hoping to get at our secret Santa swap this year. 

Jackson Kayak Antix 2.0
Gifts for Kayakers Jackson Kayak AntiX 2.0
The Ultimate Gift
for Kayakers in 2020
The AntiX 2.0 features a high-volume
nose for stomping big hits, a planing
hull shape that drastically increases
the speed over the AntiX, and a lower
volume stern that makes squirting
effortless. Increased legroom in the
2.0 lets paddlers with longer legs
enjoy this boat, too. The increased 
speed, room, stability and playfulness
of this river runner meets creeker
kayak is just want they want.
