The Jed isn't like the others; it's longer than its competitors, which allows for a more fluid distribution of volume and comparatively slicy ends for easier trick initiation. Extra length also makes the Jed faster on a wave and smoother on end in a hole.
A unique 'V-Chine' in the hull at the stern frees up the back end for spins and edge transitions while surfing, and also adds to the dynamic speed on a wave. Smooth transition of volume to the core of the boat produces some incredible pop in a hole and the deceptively smooth lines over all give an obscenely fast and aggressive ride on any wave.
Over the past few years Pyranha has seen some amazing displays of freestyle talent from paddlers using the Jed, ranging from competition wins to new and exciting combo moves, but what we're most proud of is the doors that the Jed has opened to everyone in Freestyle; from the Pro looking to push the boundaries of the sport to the beginner looking to hit their first vertical ends.

This is not just a high performance freestyle kayak; it's a story of progression between an aspiring freestyle kayaker and one of the most influential companies in white water kayaking.
Reviewer: Bren Orton
I have been asked repeatedly over the past few months whether Pyranha will be releasing a new boat for the 2015 World championships, and I can happily and proudly say that we will not; we will be standing behind our best and most proven freestyle design.
THE FULL JED STORY
The first time I got into the Jed I immediately loved it
Reviewer: Colorado Kayak
The boat is very well balanced, accelerates and releases off the face of a wave with precision, gets huge air (especially with the included over-thruster when looping) and has a very loose hull, spinning effortlessly. The V-hull in the rear of the boat allowed for extremely fast transitions between edges. Speed on a wave was very good. This boat meets or exceeds the performance of all other top line play boats put out by other manufactures in all of these areas.

Pyranha Jed Freestyle Kayak – First Look
Reviewer: Canoe & Kayak UK
The Pyrahna Jed is super-responsive and reacts to the slightest input from the pilot, so just like Luke Skywalker you can line it up and strike with laser precision for some really explosive moves. The thing that struck us most about the Jed was how balanced it feels, in our opinion the volume distribution is right on the money and the result is a kayak that just feels really good on the water.
