#48: Dane Jackson | Kayaking Waterfalls with 3 Time Freestyle Kayak World Champion - a podcast by Oli Russell-Cowan

Dane Jackson is a professional kayaker and 3 time world freestyle kayaking champion. Dane started kayaking at 2 years old. His dad Eric Jackson (EJ) was a pro kayaker, Olympian and founded Jackson Kayak. Traveling in an RV all over the US for 6 years Dane and his sister Emily were homeschooled by their mum so his dad could compete in kayaking events. 

With 80 first-place finishes in freestyle kayaking competitions Dane is considered one of the best kayakers in the world with 3 Freestyle World Championships to his name.  If he's not traveling in his RV he's kayaking around the world looking for first descents and 100ft + waterfalls. 

Food for thought:

• Growing up kayaking and living in a RV for 6 years
• Competitions and first descents around the world
• Taking on the 2nd tallest waterfall descent in history 134-foot down Salto del Maule in Chile 

Enjoy and get rad!
