Around ten people divided into two boats inaugurated the season with the company Roc Roi. With water temperatures between 7 and 8 degrees Celsius, participants were provided with extra thermal jackets to complement their standard wetsuits and life vests.
The start of the campaign follows a water flow agreement with Endesa, which will guarantee suitable river conditions until October 15th. While some bookings were cancelled due to the wind, the sector is preparing for a gradual increase in activity as ski resorts close.
