Jackson Kayak Tupelo 12.5

Recreational paddling doesn't have to mean compromising on comfort or capability, and the Tupelo 12.5 proves it.

Jackson's Tupelo 12.5 is a high-end recreational kayak built around a tri-chine hull that delivers genuine stability and tracking across a wide range of conditions. The standout feature is the Ergo Seat system, a fully removable framed seat with integrated lumbar support, 3D mesh fabric, and ergonomic shaping that keeps you comfortable through full day paddles on Canadian lakes and rivers. Cockpit rim padding adds a bracing surface for improved control in wind and waves, a detail that separates a well-designed recreational kayak from a basic one.

Four pre-installed gear tracks positioned fore and aft on both sides of the cockpit make mounting a fishfinder, camera, or other accessories straightforward, giving the Tupelo genuine versatility as a light fishing or touring platform. Bow and stern deck rigging handles additional gear, a rear hatch with rigid cover and foam bulkhead protects dry storage, and adjustable footrests dial in the fit for paddlers of varying heights. At 12.5 feet, the hull balances manoeuvrability on smaller rivers with enough waterline length for efficient tracking on open water.
