The recreational kayak has just been re-invented with the onset of
Jackson Rec’s Day Tripper line and you can expect more from your
paddling experience then ever before. The Day Trippers are the new face
of what to expect in comfort, versatility and access to the great
outdoors. These kayaks are fantastic for folks that like to bring kids
or a dog along with them on occasion but don’t want a full tandem. They
are perfect for those that used to be in canoe’s but want to try
kayaking. They also create the perfect platform for catching more fish…
And for those looking to escape to the quite side of the lake, but
don’t want to leave the creature comforts behind such as tents,
coolers, and picnicking items, the Day Tripper provides the carrying
capacity for everything you could need. Basically the Day Trippers are
designed to be just what you want from a kayak… fun, super comfortable
and easy to paddle, with a ton of options for whatever you might want
to do when paddling.
The Day Trippers truly are
different and are ushering in a fresh experience for those looking for
more out of their recreational kayak. Their focus is on providing the
room and versatility required for anyone that wants to bring the vast
array of items that help make the experience on the water that much
better.
- Want to bring your dog along? There is plenty of room for the dog maybe even two!

along? Just attach the “Kids Seat” (Summer 2008) for an instant tandem

Day Tripper
In 2008 the Day Trippers come in two versions… The Day Tripper and Day Tripper Elites.
- The standard build comes highly outfitted with:
- Foot braces adjustable from your seat
- Our legendary “Sweet Cheeks” bean bag seating
- Super comfy adjustable seat back
- A large Jackson Rec branded dry bag
- Off the floor cargo netting storage
- Our uniquely own “Day Tray”, for fishing, duck hunting, or simply just to hold your soda!
The
Elite’s are the flagship model of the Day Tripper line and comes with
all the above but swaps the “Sweet Cheeks” seating for our super comfy
and removable beach chair design, the “Elite Seat”.
The Day Tray:
The Day Tray is a sliding workbench that is completely removable and
allows for the paddler to work with it close to their lap and to then
push away towards your ankles when not using it. It makes bird
watching, taking pictures, and fishing super easy. Although the Day
Tray can be used for just about anything, it has specially built items
to make fly fishing from the seat of the kayak very easy. It’s got it’s
own stripping basket that also doubles as a fish net for getting the
hook out of the mouth and not injuring the fish prior to release. Also
built in is a great sized tackle box for a day or two of fishing.
