SPADE Black Jack Kayak

The Black Jack is a modern white water kayak that perfectly bridges the gap between a river runner and a creek boat.

High volume and high rocker give it the dry line ability and buoyancy that a full on creek boat needs. A flat bottom and a pronounced rail deliver dynamic reactivity even on mellower waters.

With 285 litres of volume the Jack is built for paddlers between 60 and 85 kg body weight. Without edging it seems to run independently from cross currents, but presents a dynamic edge performance already in modest lean angles. Because we limited the width of the hull, the Jack is also predictable in shallower waters.

Because the Blackjack is aimed at smaller size paddlers and women, a low weight was a necessity. A minimal design that represents the white water Zeitgeist of the 21st century. No matter if you are beginner, intermediate, or expert, our new kayak is your “Jack of all Trades.”
