Description
The Salto is Eskimo's thoroughbred creeker that has domniated the creek boat scene the last few years and has inspired the competition.
It's a creek boat with the latest technology, made from super stiff, light weight, blow moulded a.b.t. plastic.
The hull is designed to give maximum acceleration, speed, and stability. Rocker and new hull design in the bow allow controlled and fast resurfacing after drops and going over holes. The cockpit of the Salto is 5 cm longer (93 cm) than on all other Eskimo Kayaks, offering added safety in an emergency. Two extra handles behind the cockpit are designed for swimmer rescue or boat retrieval. The seat, backrest, and thighbraces have been completely redesigned. The Salto comes in New Zealand standard with airbags for front and rear.
