imho he influenced whitewater kayak design more than anybody else, ever. From his glass slalom and DR designs which won every race at least once, to the first plastic race boat [T-slalom], to creek boats with a bulkhead instead of a pillar [thanks to his development of crosslink vs linear rotomolded polyethylene iirc], to early play boats like the Hurricane, to the first whitewater designs for duo paddling....the guy evolved the sport for decades. Thanks Anton.

Bomber plastic and big technological advances. Rip
Topolino. So far ahead of it's time.
Weren't they the first adopters of the keyhole cockpit? Arguably the biggest advance in whitewater boats.
Topo duo was about the most fun I have ever had extreme racing ! Dropping falls tandem was a fricking trip! The boof took some figuring out then it was money. Never paddled a topolino but it was definitely way ahead of the times.
T-Slalom was the first boat I ever bought new. Great boat for self contained trips. RIP Anton
my buddy Alex bought 5 T-slaloms cheap from and out fitter so of course we call him " mr T "
Man is it ever a workout to "play" those boats onto a wave
the boats are pretty long so Alex leaves one on the car all winter to put his xc skis in
thank you so much for sharing this post with u s
