Jackson Kayak is growing its presence across the pond. A press release earlier this week announced their hiring of Mathieu Dumoulin as a new European Whitewater Team Manager.
Dumoulin is also joining Jackson as a member of the team he’s been hired to manage—in the announcement, Eric “EJ” Jackson calls Dumoulin “one of the most impressive freestyle paddlers [he’s] ever seen.”
Dumoulin is a nine-time French National Champion and two-time European champ who’s spent a lot of time paddling with Jackson boaters. “My style of playboating, especially in competition, has been evolving with JK team members like Nick, EJ and Dane who have styles of their own,” Dumoulin says.
Impressive paddling resume aside, Dumoulin joins Jackson armed with a master’s degree in business, making him the prime candidate to develop the team overseas, inevitably growing the brand that’s been explosively successful in the whitewater industry since it was founded in 2003.
Jackson announced their hiring of Dumoulin just weeks after adding French boater Nouria Newman to an expanding list of European paddlers, that also includes two-time world champion Claire O’Hara.
