Esquif Echo 2 Canoe

A shallow-arch solo hull built to dance on flat water and class II
01 — HULL & PERFORMANCE

A shallow-arch solo hull built to dance on flat water and class II

The Echo pairs a shallow-arch hull with 1.75" of rocker at bow and stern, delivering great speed, crisp tracking and reassuring secondary stability. National Champion Karen Knight described it as a canoe she can dance with on flat water or take down class II rivers.

  • Shallow-arch hull for smooth, predictable secondary stability
  • 1.75" rocker at bow and stern for easy maneuverability
  • Strong speed and tracking for efficient solo paddling
T-Formex Lite construction that shrugs off rock and impact
02 — MATERIAL & DURABILITY

T-Formex Lite construction that shrugs off rock and impact

The Echo is built from T-Formex Lite, a laminate of an ABS foam core sandwiched between ABS sheets and a protective outer plastic skin. The result is excellent resistance to abrasion and heavy impacts while keeping the boat light enough to carry solo.

  • T-Formex Lite ABS foam-core laminate
  • Excellent abrasion and impact resistance for rocky rivers
  • Light 42 lb (19 kg) hull, easy to load and portage
Webbed seat and contoured outfitting for all-day comfort
03 — OUTFITTING & COMFORT

Webbed seat and contoured outfitting for all-day comfort

A webbed seat keeps you comfortable through long days on the water, while the contoured yoke and thwart make portages and trim easy to manage. Choose wood or vinyl gunwales to match your style.

  • Caned / webbed seat for breathable comfort
  • Contoured yoke and thwart for balanced portaging
  • Wood or vinyl gunwale options
400 lb capacity ready for day trips or overnight adventures
04 — CAPACITY & VERSATILITY

400 lb capacity ready for day trips or overnight adventures

With a 400 lb (181 kg) carrying capacity, the 14' Echo handles a paddler plus gear for overnight trips, yet stays nimble on lakes, rivers and coastal waterways. It is a Canadian-made companion for calm solo paddling and ambitious whitewater up to class II.

  • 400 lb (181 kg) carrying capacity for paddler plus gear
  • Versatile across lakes, rivers and coastal waterways
  • Handles overnight trips and whitewater up to class II

Got my wife's first kayak here and the guys were super helpful and friendly. Immediately welcoming and inviting — I can't wait to go back and browse their large inventory of kayaks and gear. Thank y'all for making our experience awesome!

So pleased with my Recon 120HD! Even though they're 2 hours away I had my kayak shipped to me. The packing was great and I received it undamaged. They were super helpful over the phone answering all my questions while I chose which kayak I wanted. Awesome company!

I bought my first kayak (I'm 61) thanks to Parker's education and patience. He spent two hours with me and even after the sale continued to patiently answer my many questions and offer advice. I was completely at ease and enjoyed the whole experience.

The Mecca of anything kayaking and kayak fishing! I ordered a new kayak from their website and they had it ready and waiting when I got there. Very friendly and helpful staff, and the largest inventory of kayak accessories anywhere around.

Bought a great Nova Craft canoe here — a 3–4 hour drive from home but well worth it. It took them about 5 minutes to load it and strap it on my car and I was gone.

You guys rock — super fast shipping and my kayak got to my doorstep without a scratch. It was definitely packed with care! I'm already recommending you to all my kayak friends.

With its beautiful curves and elegant design, the Echo is a canoe that turns heads before you even hit the water. But it's on the water where it truly shines — remarkably easy to maneuver, with great speed, tracking, and secondary stability that make it one of the smoothest and most reliable companions for solo paddling adventures.

“The Echo is a canoe I can dance with on flat water or take down Class II rivers or on overnight trips.” — Karen Knight, National Champion
