Antix 2 First Laps | Jackson Antix 2.0 First Thoughts | GoPro Hero | Shred Vlog 

Hahaha but it is SO fun! Also sadly the water is insanely low this year so not a ton of options.

Just a guess, but is your Axiom a 9.0? That would explain a lot of our varying experiences

@@AlexBarham Sorry- I should have specified...my axiom is the 8.5. The 9.0 Axiom is a HUGE boat and not playful whatsoever IMO. :) I think you are correct that the 2.0 and the axiom 8.5 are similar but I loved the increased rocker on the 2.0 bow which made surfing excellent and the stern on the 2.0 is much sliceyer than the axiom 8.5 in my opinion. The 2.0 is a huge improvement over the original antix.

Could be the case depending on your weight and style. Hannah is 140 and she floated the small perfectly. We found that it was a very nice river runner at center for her, but the tail was dry. Sneaking her back got the boat standing up much better.

Well now you know how to retire it!

Probably an OG or a Stinger XP

The Antix 2 is narrower so if reaching up was your issue you should find it solved

That's 1.9. About as low as it can get

In this case it was because it is installed with auto clips so easy to remove and replace. The rep wound up taking it for a rip without the pad after to see what difference it made.

I was not comfortable and wanted more knee height so that was the instant/only solution. Same trick you'll see the team paddlers doing in the Nirvana

This is the Bottom Moose at low flows

Soon-ish? My life has been insane

Not yet. Your best bet to see a review is asking them to send me a boat or otherwise get in touch.

Verus* and it is sick

Auto correct sucks🤦🙄

I paddled both the M and the L. I will certainly cover all that in the review, but you'll be more of a river runner than an aggressive slicer if you go with the large.

Hey Todd...just got my Antix 2.0 Large the other day. My perspective is purely from a tall guy for what it matters. While I can't give you any M to L comparisons, I can tell you that I scoured the internets for the same answer. I had no way to try before I buy. My issue was more on height. I'm around 190lb suited up, but I'm 6'3" with a 34" inseam and size 11 shoes. I had an Antix 1 size large, but I could never get comfortable in the boat. With the low knee position, my legs always felt cramped and they would go numb in just a matter of minutes it seemed. At the same time, the A1 always felt big in the hips area for me. I added extra foam around the thighs so it didn't feel so loose. I ended up selling it recently, and got the 2.0 large. I couldn't be happier with the decision from a comfort standpoint. The narrower, higher knee position addressed my only complaint with the original...and it is perfect now! The way the bow tapers down on the 2.0, I think (and I'm just guessing) that my feet would feel too crammed in the medium. I came across a lot of guys in our weight range but under 6' that said the medium was great. With my 34" inseam, and the seat in the middle position, I had to trim the foam blocks in half.

@@maguasmadness5719 I think you responded to my comment on jackson's site. it's a tough decision to have to buy without being able to try or get a solid answer on the height issue, so i appreciate your comments. im 6'3" 195lb (200+ with gear) 34' inseam 13 US shoe (with drysuit booties). I would love to get a medium if i could fit for play, but hard to find that answer for sure. sounds like you don't think it would be a comfortable fit. thanks again.

@@deepcreekfooter That was me! Actually...you should contact Alec Voorhees from the Jackson whitewater team through Facebook...he's the one that really sealed the deal for me. He responded quickly, was ridiculously helpful, and could answer any question you throw at him. He's been in both sizes, he's our size, and he runs the large. Good luck!

@@maguasmadness5719 thank you. Alec was super helpful!
