I recently had the unique opportunity to go inside the Jackson Kayak manufacturing plant to learn how these paddlecraft are made and write about it in YakAngling Magazine. It was interesting for me as I hold a black belt certification in Lean Six Sigma (fancy term for someone who sat in a classroom for way too long learning how to rid waste and reduce variation in a business process and now applies it 9 to 5).
The Jackson Kayak facility really did impress me, but the great people who work to build us anglers these great fishing platforms will remain as the lasting memory of the tour. Get the inside scoop on page 17 of the 2015 October/November Edition of YakAngling Magazine at link below!
