Sunny On The Mellte

It's possibly the Holy Grail of British white water kayaking. A summer run on your favourite spot.

Flood warnings were forecast for this weekend in South Wales, and sure enough the storms came and the rain poured.

Gear packed and ready, we headed to the Mellte. Hopes of a decent run started to fade as the sun kept shining and the clouds cleared on the drive in, but luck was on our side and the river was good to go.

Tom tested out the Kokatat Maximus buoyancy aid, which proved lightweight and non-restrictive making it ideal for running rivers and surfing.

The Summer is here and we are making the most of it, especially during after work surf sessions at Langland Bay.
