Jackson Kayak was born in October of 2003. It is a kayak company that is simple, streamlined, small, and dedicated to bringing you the best kayaks that it can. I’m Eric Jackson, and I own the company along with Tony Lunt, a kayaker friend from Arizona. I create kayaks with David Knight, my design partner since 1994. David Knight is a C-1er from the Washington, DC area. His full time job is at the Naval Surface Warfare Center in Bethesda, Maryland. There, he is a naval architect with a special interest in structures (he likes to blow things up, then make them stronger, and try to blow them up again) David is looking forward to retiring from his government job and moving to Rock Island where the real fun begins. My wife, Kristine’s official position is Director of Sales. She fills many more roles than that, however, including chief advisor to the President (that’s me). You will see the attention to detail that Kristine brings to Jackson Kayak in everything we do. Tony Lunt adds the financial support needed to strengthen the bootstraps that I am starting Jackson Kayak with. He is a destination kayaker that must normally travel to find water. When not “street surfing” during the occasional downpour in Tucson, AZ, you can find him riding his stallions and roping cattle on his expansive desert ranch. Jackson Kayak is located at Rock Island, Tennessee, home of the Ultimate freestyle hole, and the Brave Wave. We are located at Rock Island Road, if that gives you any idea how opportune the location is. My mother-in-law, Lorraine, is the office manager. She fills orders, handles customer service and keeps the books on a daily basis. That is a busy job, so be nice to her! You and your local dealer are our company advisors; we are making this company to cater to you. We are doing what we can to be your company of choice.
