Friday Fun Kayaking Ogmore

Team Seren Dŵr Hits the River Ogmore for a Fantastic February Paddle

Friday 20th February brought classic winter paddling conditions and a brilliant evening on the River Ogmore for Team Seren Dŵr. With plenty of water, great energy, and a strong group turnout, it turned into one of those sessions that perfectly captures what club paddling is all about: progression, support, and lots of smiles.

From the moment we got on the water, the river delivered. There was loads of surfing, paddle spins, and confidence-building moments throughout the session. Even better, there were no swims, but plenty of impressive rolls on display as paddlers put their skills into practice and backed themselves when it counted.

It was also a special session as Idris joined us on the river for the very first time. We are absolutely delighted to welcome him to river paddling and cannot wait to share many more adventures over the coming months.

One of the highlights of the evening was seeing just how much everyone is progressing. Some paddlers are beginning to step into leadership roles, making decisions on the water and supporting others, while for some, it was their first river experience, a huge milestone and a reminder of how far people can come with encouragement and time on moving water.

Sessions like this show the strength of the Seren Dŵr community. Experienced paddlers support newer members, confidence grows with every rapid, and everyone celebrates each other’s achievements along the way.

A big thank you goes to Sammy and Nige, who joined us to help support the session. Your time and encouragement made a real difference.

Safe paddling, great company, and a fantastic February evening on the water. Let’s do it again soon!
