Traverse 9 Kayak - 2024

Versatility is king with Jackson Kayak's Traverse 9 crossover kayak. Designed for paddlers who do both recreational and whitewater kayaking, the Traverse 9 is a 'tweener that's faster on flatwater than typical river runners thanks to its semi-planing hull, skeg, and longer, 9-foot, 8-inch length. At the same time, the boat's hull, rocker, and outfitting make it more than capable of paddling whitewater, too. For those of us who paddle a range of waters, the Traverse 9 lets us buy one boat instead of two and still get out on both whitewater and flatwater rivers, as well as smaller bodies of water.
