Love that black and blue color scheme, might have to get one just for that!

[andrewnau]

"I'm not gonna have enough time in it to tell you how i think...." -Wade 😂❤🤙🏼

[ryancorry]

Good comparison I thought would be the EXO Zion slalom Large. Similar dimensions. Clutch looks nice.

[macfawlty]

Looks like another great new model from Jackson. Wondering how it compares to the Antix 2? Perhaps the objective is a more agile creeker? That bow likely slows it down on the flat, but surfs and skips out well.

[georgewilliamssr]

From what I’ve seen so far. Makes me wonder if I should have waited before buying my Ripper2. But I’m having fun in my Ripper2. So, I’ll have to just run with what I have.

[joesee]

Can you do a review of the Prijon 2B please ?

[swimmerbytrade]

Hi Wade great video. So Antix or Clutch as a next boat for early intermediate learning pretty fast and won’t grow out of quickly? No pressure.😊

[mikecatura]

Looks more puffy Steeze/indra side of things vs being a more playful Steeze? Superman has no problem getting it vertical in the promo but looks like that would be hard for us mortals.

[GearGarageTV]

It would be a bummer to catch a shoelace in that non-locking carabiner in our cockpit if you swim

[philipmcdonald]

Was also thinking it looked like a ripper 2 L which I just got. I can see from this the tail is quite a bit fatter?

Hard to buy jackson boats in the UK though, although i love them they're always going to be a lot more expensive than Pyrahna

[SouthernYak]

you didn't test how well it stern lounges though! :D :D

[brianluisi]

I love jackson boats, but the plastic is just bad ( 2 broken rockstar V, 1 broken antix, all 3 broke parts of the outfitting) 4 out of 4 boats all had issues within 2 years (not all these boats where mine). Great warranty though. this could just be my crews bad luck also.

[gynefox]

Looks like Zet Ninja, but with more bow rocker.

[joshuahill]

Was the clutch stern easier to sink/get vertical compared to a large ripper?

[АртемПетров-дб]

Thanks for the boat review. How would you compare this boat to the Pyranha Reactr? What are the advantages and disadvantages of both? Which boat would you choose for the slalom channel?

[FeWolf]

is the primary stab lose ? I do like the front angle bow🤙

[mikecatura]

So basically a refined puffy steeze that you can 3/4 squirt and is easy to demo and buy? Looks like they are gonna sell a s*** ton of these.

[gordmccoll]

What's your overall impression of the price?

[MicajahMcCurry]

They cut the plug in half from the gnarvana. It’s the same bow with deck lines.
