One hundred years later – in 2007 – a young professor from the technical University of Munich, Walter Klasz, together with his students, visited the Klepper manufacture in Rosenheim. It was during a conversation with current Klepper owners, the Isbruch family, that a new idea for a totally different interpretation of the folding kayak was born. Together with two of his best students: Carla Baumann and Thomas Seitz, Klasz sketched a first model. After intensive product development, model-studies and testing, the BACKYAK is now ready. KLEPPER maintains the tradition of folding kayaks by launching the multifunctional, hyper-modern carbon BACKYAK. The BACKYAK is true to the original Klepper idea: freedom and mobility.
