The time is ripe!
Creeking is in and with the TOPO being the forefather of all creek boats, the NEW TOPO has everything a modern creek boat needs: an extremely short and brawny shape and a new type of hull design (see SALTO).




There is no denying the NEW TOPO's origin: its deck design follows that of its ancestor, just a few edges make the NEW TOPO look younger and more aggressive.
The bottom, on the other hand, is the tried and tested construction used with the SALTO and makes the NEW TOPO faster above all.


With the sides still pretty rounded, the NEW TOPO will be less prone to be catched on rocks (important on steep, rocky rivers) and will also reduce impact on extreme boofs.


Smaller paddlers will like the cockpit rim, which is lower than the one on the original TOPO. This way freedom of movement is improved, especially at the back.
The NEW TOPO is the first choice for all those who think the SALTO offers too much volume for them.
In every other respect, the NEW TOPO is what the TOPO always has been: a safe and solid kayak to go playing and creeking with! Just unique!


The original TOPO was designed more than 20 years ago by Holger Machatschek (founder of the Alpine Kayak Club) and Edi Schnappinger (Owner of ESKIMO).
The TOPO is Europes most success full creek boat with TOPO meetings in Germany, France and Japan.
