Jackson Gnarvana M
I have been using this boat for about half a season. I have paddled the Nirvana, Waka Tuna 1 and 2, 9r, DRX, Cross, Code, Scorch and Phantom and the Gnarvana of my favourite wide creek boats out there. First time I paddled it was an Ashlu box canyon lap and it was very easy to get used to compared to my Phantom. It's slower than the phantom but accelerates very easily and strikes a great balance between speed and maneuverability. I really like Jackson outfitting because I can pack gear forward of the bulkhead. Shortly after buying this boat I did the Gamsby river and my boat felt very well balanced. The Gnarvana has a much better knee position than the Nirvana. The Bees Knees could be more aggressive but it's an improvement on the Nirvana as well. I don't mind the cleat system for my backband because I tend to set it once and forget it, so it experiences less wear than if I adjusted it frequently. I also appreciate the rigidity of Jackson's seat/adjustment rail.
