- Why do you want this kayak?
- The Echo is a versatile boat designed for small sea kayakers who need a boat that can do it all. It is sized between a day trip boat and a full-on expedition boat. Although it is a compromise, it fits small paddlers exceptionally well, and there is no other composite boat on the market that caters to paddlers of this size. The boat is neutral in the wind, which means it is slightly affected by weather but isn't too difficult to turn into the wind when stationary. This characteristic is more important for smaller paddlers. The seat can be moved backward and forwards to fine-tune this characteristic for individual paddlers, like the other boats in this range.

A lot of paddlers tend to buy expedition type kayaks when in reality they will only use them for this purpose a couple of times a year and the vast majority of their paddling trips are day or weekend trips where a better fitting and therefore sharper handling kayak would make their time on the water more enjoyable!
