Jackson Clutch Whitewater Kayak - 2025 New
A true creek/slice hybrid that does it all
The Clutch pairs a full planing hull with a super high-rockered bow and a sleek, lower-rockered stern, so it stays fully creekable while keeping a playable stern for surfs and squirts. The result is a nimble, forgiving boat that skips across features with confidence.
- Full planing hull for predictable, confidence-inspiring control
- Super high-rockered bow handles drops and holes like a creek boat
- Lower-rockered playable stern shreds surfs and squirts eddy lines
Locked-in connection when it counts
Jackson Kayak's patented Bees Knees Thigh Hook System maximizes contact in the thigh brace area for precise edge control. Combined with the planing hull, the Clutch delivers stability that inspires confidence in pushy water.
- Patented Bees Knees Thigh Hook System for increased contact and control
- Engineered edges for crisp, intentional maneuvering
- Forgiving, nimble handling that stays predictable
Dialed-in outfitting for all-day paddling
Lots of legroom keeps you comfortable from put-in to take-out, while the patented Sure-Lock Backband System keeps your support exactly where you set it. The cockpit is built to keep you fresh on long river days.
- Generous legroom for all-day comfort
- Patented Sure-Lock Backband System holds its position
- Tunable outfitting for a custom, locked-in fit
Class-leading impact protection
The Clutch features Jackson Kayak's patented Uni-Shock Bulkhead System, the highest shock-absorbing system on the market, to help protect your legs and feet when you stomp a drop or hit unexpected rock.
- Patented Uni-Shock Bulkhead System absorbs impact
- Highest shock-absorbing footbrace system available
- Adjustable bulkhead for a secure, supportive brace

Great company. Colton was very helpful in selecting a great paddle. Very knowledgeable.
★★★★★ Recommended on FacebookGot my wife's first kayak here and the guys were super helpful and friendly. Immediately welcoming and inviting — I can't wait to go back and browse their large inventory of kayaks and gear. Thank y'all for making our experience awesome!
★★★★★ Recommended on FacebookSo pleased with my Recon 120HD! Even though they're 2 hours away I had my kayak shipped to me. The packing was great and I received it undamaged. They were super helpful over the phone answering all my questions while I chose which kayak I wanted. Awesome company!
★★★★★ Recommended on FacebookI bought my first kayak (I'm 61) thanks to Parker's education and patience. He spent two hours with me and even after the sale continued to patiently answer my many questions and offer advice. I was completely at ease and enjoyed the whole experience.
★★★★★ Recommended on FacebookThe Mecca of anything kayaking and kayak fishing! I ordered a new kayak from their website and they had it ready and waiting when I got there. Very friendly and helpful staff, and the largest inventory of kayak accessories anywhere around.
★★★★★ Recommended on FacebookBought a great Nova Craft canoe here — a 3–4 hour drive from home but well worth it. It took them about 5 minutes to load it and strap it on my car and I was gone.
★★★★★ Recommended on FacebookYou guys rock — super fast shipping and my kayak got to my doorstep without a scratch. It was definitely packed with care! I'm already recommending you to all my kayak friends.
