To that end, dropping big waterfalls and ramping off spewing whitewater chutes is no big deal for the Jackson Kayak team, who traveled to the Veracruz region this past January to test and shoot new boats. Judging by this footage, they made the most of it. And check out this photo gallery from their trip.
