Jackson Karma Traverse 10 Whitewater Kayak Torch - 2024 New

Crossover hull that runs whitewater and racks up flatwater miles
A stretched, slightly wider take on the acclaimed Karma, the Traverse 10 pairs a forgiving semi-planing hull with a retractable skeg. Drop the skeg to track straight and knock out flatwater miles, then pull it up to carve and maneuver in moving water.
- Semi-planing hull blends whitewater agility with flatwater glide
- Retractable skeg improves tracking on lakes and slow sections
- 10'4" length and 27" width deliver stable, confident handling

Full Jackson whitewater outfitting dialed for all-day control
The Traverse carries Jackson Kayak's complete whitewater outfitting so you stay locked in and comfortable through long days on the water. The UniShock bulkhead footrest system adjusts to your fit and absorbs impact on rowdy runs.
- UniShock bulkhead footrest system for a snug, shock-absorbing fit
- Removable foot plates open up bow access for gear and storage
- Whitewater-grade seat and outfitting for all-day support

Self-support ready with a dry hatch and expedition volume
With 102 gallons of volume and a rear dry storage hatch, the Traverse is built for overnight and multi-day self-support trips. An optional implosion-proof Hard Hat hatch cover adds security when the water gets truly rowdy.
- Rear dry hatch for self-support and day-trip gear
- 102 gallons of volume for expedition loads
- Optional implosion-proof Hard Hat hatch cover available

YakAttack rails to rig the boat your way
A recessed YakAttack accessory track next to the cockpit lets you mount the gear that fits your mission. Add camera mounts, phone holders, rod holders and more without drilling into the hull.
- Recessed YakAttack accessory track beside the cockpit
- Mount cameras, phone holders, rod holders and cup holders

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.
