Over on YouTube there is a video of another new Jackson kayak. The Tupelo LT. My wife has a Tupelo 12.5 and it's a great kayak. Paddling is effortless, it's plenty stable, and even comes with 4 sections of gear track for the fishermen. I have tried it a couple times and it's very nice. It's only 59 pounds, great for my bad back.

Along comes the thermo formed version the Tupelo LT. At one point in the video he says it's 31 pounds, then later says it's 35. Either way, how can you beat this for an older guy with a bad back?
