report Pirineos 2007 by Miguel Ruiz

vista del campo de slalom de Sort España


Sort is a little town located at 250 kms from Barcelona in the Catalan Pyrenees in spring season there are a lot of rivers around and there are always local kayakers ready to fire it up.

Also local companies organize nice events to keep crazy kayakers quiet and happy, like the jumping kayak in Barcelona organized by roc-roi.
This year was great , we did not expect we could have had much water, but we were so lucky and mother nature provided us with some strong storms loading all river with water and mountains full of snow, so we had a few weeks with awesome flows.
In Pyrenees u always can have great days of kayaking, but you have to be there waiting for it, and if you are lucky you will get it.
The season in the Spanish and French Pyrenees is gone, time to leave this amazing place and people, we hope some motivated person rebuilt the play spot, to let the children play and learn new tricks like the last year.
