The TORO ECHO K1
The latest development of the Toro is called "The Echo".  The very best parameters of the TORO EVO that gained a clutch of medals last year were retained and some new ideas of the designers were included into this new kayak. A lot of top world kayakers participated in the design of the new kayak . Those famous names involved in teh design were David FORD, Jure MEGLIC, Alex GRIMM, Dejan KRALJ , Vavra HRADILEK, Mike DAWSON and Ciaran HEURTEAU.

            The rear part of the hull has been changed to improve turning and  keep a very stable kayak. Its speed has been kept and based on the feedback from the top world kayakers after testing we expect the ECHO will again be a kayak of huge interest to our customers.  The front part of the boat the ECHO has also been changed to go more easily under the poles of gates. The combined changes have again improved the boat’s dynamics. The ECHO is always hand built to your personal needs, such as weight, so you can be assured of the best performance. .

 The optimal weight for this boat is 50-85 kgs and an XXL version for the over 85 kg paddlers
