Finally.
A kayak that combines the downriver performance, volume, and speed you want with a wicked playful hull, an easy chair of a cockpit, and the best outfitting system the world has ever known. This combination of proven design features means you get comfort, a loose hull, predictability in hero-sized rapids, and hull speed to get you where you want (need?) to be. We'll even throw in a D-Bone™ subframe for stiffness and safety, and the Performance Fit System™ with Precision adjustable thigh braces, a Flipswitch™ backband and our six-way adjustable AirCore™ seat and hip pads There! A boat that all your friends will be begging to borrow. Our suggestion: Don't let them. Really. We won't think you're a jerk. Remember what happened when you loaned out your lawnmower.
Hype 2006:
Fresh squeezed daily. And fresher than ever. Combine downriver performance, volume and speed with a playful hull, a comfy cockpit and the best outfitting system ever to grace a kayak and you’ve got Juice. Let me know when the shivers down your spine are gone. Now? Good. And we didn’t even mention the comfort, predictability, or the loose hull. The outfitting system is none other than our Performance Fit System™. We’re talkin’ about Precision adjustable thigh braces plus all that new gear for ’04: the Flipswitch™ backband, those sexy six-way adjustable AirCore™ hip pads and a rebound seat pad that you can’t get off your mind and don’t forget about the D Bone™ Subframe which makes for a strong hull. This is the one boat that does it all. If you’re looking to turn in that RPM or GT for something a bit more playful, then you just struck gold.

My other boat is a small Ammo, and this boat is about as forgiving, yet it carves so very sweetly and even I can get the ends down on it if I want. And it is dead easy to roll (just think about it & it's up). The hull speed is slow, but the performance high - I've never had a problem with placing the boat exactly where I want it on the river. I absolutely love my Juice 6.9
