It was originally named the JEDEYE, spelled with eye at the end to avoid any affiliation with the film industry, however this later became an issue after the boat was announced. The boat is still technically named a Jedeye, however, Pyranha really are pushing for people to refer to the boat as a Jed.

Is it available in wood form as well as plastic?

[feelingjustfine]

I want one- great vid and tunes! Do you know when they will be knocking about and how much?

That's what I thought, but they appear to have been fairly consistent calling it 'JED' (and then sticking a picture of an eye). Guess its all copyright stuff...

[clarky999]

Still only beaten in the 'worst kayak name' stakes by the Zelezny Spunt. Seriously Pyranha, wtf??

[Andrew Battye]

Either way it has got to be one of the worst named boats ever.

Whilst admitedly not a great name, at least Pyranha have moved away from their fascination with naming boats with drug culture references.
I mean, come on Pyranha! The Burn?? The 420?? The Razor and Blade?? And who can forget their classic: the Pyranha King Sized Rizla...?

Did one of the pyranha designers hop over to fluid to make the dope?

There's a composite creek boat on there, wonder how long that would last...

[purelandexpeditions.com]

And right here it's called a Jed.

In other news; I think this boat looks sweet and can't wait to get my hands on one, hopefully in the green and black.

[purelandexpeditions.com]

my mistake its this thread for the composite creekers that onecar highlights video for. 'Filmed on Location? Obviously.'

At least the entire company isn't named after a spliff...
I mean, Bliss-Stick?? Really! Even the logo suggests it...


And as for all the crack I kept finding in my old Jefe... well...

[Onecar]

Don't you mean "cracks" Tim?

Mediums out to play at Dart Fest this weekend! Here is the elusive hull shot that no one ever seems to take. Smalls on their way next then larges... more hull pics here.

[Oinky23]

So does anyone know when people will be able to demo & buy this boat?
Or do you think I would be better off just buying a project x now?

Once the season has properly started there should be demos available at most suppliers. I'm pretty sure I read that it would be available in march or may? either way, I'd wait.

If you like your play machine fast I would wait! : )

Demos in shops in March. Where are you based? Will have mediums for demo at NSR.

Between march and may? I think I have the paitence to wait it out. Im based in Portsmouth but I often travel to Swansea, so im pretty sure they will have a demo at Cardiff ill be able to try out.

Thanks guys :)

We've just be taken delivery of our Demo Pyranha Jed (M) seen below with the Pyranha Loki - it's going into production this week so should be in your local shop within the next couple of weeks. RRP is £849.

Pop in and have a look.

[p.r.unicycles]

Dear lord,I'm in love.

[Nugz]

Oinky! What size do you want to try? Sure Woodmill Canoe Shop in Southampton will have a medium one in soon... : )

[NickH]

Given that Rich talked about the use of a 'cut and shut' process in their boat design (in his talk at the River's Source symposium), is that the back of an Inazone I see stuck on the Loki?!

i3 front deck, although she looks a lot more balanced than the i3 which is quite a good thing. The Loki looks a nice boat, a modern take on an old school play boat. I have not tried one, but from video it looks a like there's a ease in paddlability and as such it might be a tad slower than I would of hoped for. We've allot use to faster boats, so I don't want a slow one, still the proof is in the eating, well paddling of the Loki.

[waverley610]

Looking at the Dartfest display, both the Loki and the Varun very much shades of the i3.
Why is nobody talking about the Varun? It looks great and so much room for your feet!
