And that’s a rap for @jacksonsfest 2026

After 2 postponed events, the stars finally aligned for the water levels to be good for us to go ahead and have a sick weekend of racing and pure craic on the river

I am delighted how the event turned out and to have taken the lead on planning it this year, hopefully I did as good of a job as @shanerlittle has done in the previous few years.

I’d like to thank everyone who helped me on the weekend and over the last year pulling together the event, I couldn’t have done it without any of you.
And of-course thank you all who came and put on big performances racing (especially those who did the gruelling endurance race😂)

Here’s to plenty more Jackson’s fest to come in the future 🙏🥹

Also as always huge thank you to @i_canoe and @hiko_cz for always supporting me with awsome gear for these kind of events.

Safety is paramount. Jackson’s Fest 2025 is cancelled due to extreme rain fall. Here is a pic looking up at Little Jackson’s in 2002 when the river was flowing at 300. Competitors - You’ve got Mail! We are sorry but we’ll see you in 2026. by @jacksonsfest

The design on the front of the t-shirt is a graphic version of a photo from a previous Jackson’s fest thanks to @alekseis_studio camera work.
