Whitewater Forum : Eskimo salto?

Professor Paddle · Washington, Oregon and vicinity

Author: jPSubject: Eskimo salto?Posted: 11 Dec 2015 at 9:05amNow for the secondary, less relevant post... Features I LOVED about the Salto: Lightweight yet Strong. No pillars or walls inside. Awesome multiday capabilities, and easily transports a 36" bow saw or a small chainsaw for beaver missions. I dig the molded in plastic grab loops rather than those little metal pins most boats have. I lit...

Whitewater Forum : Eskimo salto?

Professor Paddle · Washington, Oregon and vicinity

Author: jPSubject: Eskimo salto?Posted: 11 Dec 2015 at 8:54amWhen I got mine in 2008 it made sense to choose the Salto for its assets over its shortcomings. I'd be happy to enumerate both the pros and cons of that boat, but by 2010 boat designs crossed a threshold in my opinion that didn't warrant stickin w/ the Salto and its design limitations. Jed essentially sums those up. The bottom line is...

Professor Paddle · Washington, Oregon and vicinity

Author: jalmquistSubject: Eskimo salto?Posted: 11 Dec 2015 at 8:45amJDG also paddled one (or more) for years, and could chime in. He stuck with that model for a while, which says something. But as Jed notes, it's an older design. That's not necessarily a bad thing, but don't expect it to handle the same as boats with more recent designs.

Whitewater Forum : Eskimo salto?

Professor Paddle · Washington, Oregon and vicinity

Author: Jed HawkesSubject: Eskimo salto?Posted: 11 Dec 2015 at 7:56amIf your in the medium to small weight range they are a good boat. A bit of an outdated design, but if you want a boat to last they're a good choice. Blow moulding has some technological limitations that makes most all blow moulded boats have a pointed bow which diminishes the volume in the bow as well as surface area making it...
