ESQUIF ECHO 2.0
The new [2026] Echo 2.0 builds on the spirit of the original model, loved by paddlers for its agility and responsiveness. But it goes even further. With an additional 1.5 inches of depth, it now delivers greater load capacity, while maintaining its efficiency, lightness and maneuverability.
This refined design also gives the Echo 2.0 enhanced whitewater capability, offering paddlers increased dryness and confidence in more demanding conditions. Whether tackling technical runs or carrying more gear, it delivers durability, performance and reliability.
A reinvented classic, built to expand your horizons on the water.

T-FORMEX
T-Formex is a high tech laminated material consisting of an ABS foam core, ABS sheets, and a protective outer plastic skin. Its resistance to abrasion and heavy impacts make it an excellent material for recreational, whitewater, and expedition canoes. Once heated and molded, T-Formex sheets form a hull that has an unmatched structural memory. So even after being folded around a rock, an Esquif T-Formex canoe will return to its original shape with minimal distortion. Stronger than fibreglass and lighter than polyethylene, T-Formex gives Esquif’s designers a material with superior characteristics.
