What kayak is this? 16 years 10 months ago #25094

All of the Eskimos are 2-toned, and obviously the Dynamic Duo wasn't out yet. www.americanwhitewater.org/content/Photo_detail_photoid_6754_

Thanks, it just didn't look like the same design...The only Topo-Duo model that I can find on Eddyflower or Playak is the 2005 model, and the picture was labeled June 2003.

Also, as another discussion point, what if companies started to make drop-down fins for kayaks like the old Flirt ? If the design was similar to a drop-down skeg in the Remix XP, then you could drop down the fins on a wave, and when you were done, continue down the river. It would be really cool on a boat like the B-S SCUD or Pyranha Ammo, because they are basically planing-hull creekboats, but with this addition, it would be the one kayak for almost everything.
