Echo Description

With its beautiful curves and elegant design, the Echo will definitely catch your attention. In addition to its unique look, one thing you will surely notice when you paddle it is how easy it is to maneuver. “The Echo is a canoe I can dance with on flat water or takedown class II rivers or on overnight trips” mentioned Karen Knight when Esquif asked the National Champion what made the Echo so special. With its great speed, tracking, and secondary stability it is one of the smoothest and most reliable companions you can have on calm solo paddling adventures.

I have used the Echo for the last 3 years. When I was inquiring about the canoe, the company went way out of their way to answer all of my questions. I love the canoe. It has wood trim and it is royalex. The wood trim is very well done. The hull in royalex is a no worry. It is super stable, approx. 30" at waterline and somewhat flatter than the rest. It paddles like a dream. I mostly fish and play out of it. I think it is a great all round canoe.

Submitted by: guest-paddler on 5/5/2013
I paddled Echo for the first time in April the 20th in a 100 km marathon paddle competition in Estonia, Vöhandu Marathon. We were a team of three paddlers, two Bell Merlin II's and my Echo. We took it easy & made the journey in less than 16 hours, which was our target. Esquif Breeze behaved well in tight corners of the river & took minimal water in when crossing small mill-dams & class I rapids. I am 6 ft 1" tall. Kneeling position was perfect for my height. Echo is a bit wide for a solo, but otherwise very nice and easy tripping & playboat.

I have sold this boat, so I have no dog in the hunt. I bought it after trying Karen Knight's at AFS 2011. I found it to be the best handling solo royelex canoe I have ever paddled. I found and purchased one soon after. I have owned a royelex Yellowstone solo/wildfire and it handled and had speed much superior. It has fine lines for a royelex boat which is probably why.

For freestyle and fun, you can crawl are around in this boat without tipping which is a blast. I narrowed mine 1 1/2" to narrow the paddling station. it doesn't have enough freeboard for big moving water, but in easy stuff it is a good if wet ride. It's straight line paddling effort is definitely superior to the royelex competitors. I tripped in it for 3 days. The workmanship is great. I only sold it because or it's weight(50#) and length(I prefer shorter)
A great boat for a larger person.
