The ECHO is becoming very popular kayak for paddlers of light and medium weight.

The Beijing Olympic winner Alex GRIMM developed the ECHO in to a kayak which would be absolutely ideal for "larger" competitors.Most of parameters of the ECHO remain even after changes. The ECHO XXL is a fast, dynamic, stable and easily turnable kayak. It gets easily under the gate poles and thanks to its volume provides a high comfort level during paddling to the paddlers over 85kgs. The ECHO XXL was made higher and slightly wider to reach the necessary volume. The most essential change was made in the searching for the center of gravity which is different in the case of the tall and heavier competitors with long legs than in the case of light paddlers with lower weight. Thanks to relatively big changes of the volume around the cockpit the ECHO XXL does not flounder into the water even during strong back leans of the competitor. The ECHO XXL drives the competitor out of the up stream gates and during the ride over the back is very stable. The new ECHO XXL provides to the "larger" paddlers in both training and competing the comfort which they did not know with smaller kayaks. Both the ECHO and the ECHO XXL are customized according to the weight and height of the paddler.

DIOLEN

Economical construction for beginners. We use epoxy resin, E-glass fabric, 2 sq meters of SGL carbon/aramid fabric under the seat and sandwich stiffening ribs in the hull and deck, outside aramid and inside diolen seam, hard foam-pillars (Styrodur).
