I own a large tube rocker (Shredder).
I have not used the JPW but I have paddled a Hyside Paddlecat on numerous occasions.
I like the Shredder a lot more than the Hyside. My main gripe with the Hyside is the height of the floor and the width of the boat. I felt too close to my paddling partner and like the floor was not deep enough.
I love my Shredder. They are a few hundred dollars more and the wait time is higher. In my opinion, the difference in quality warrants the extra cost. That said, the Hyside is still a decent offering.
