He Náutico de Cobres won the new format of the Baixada do Umia, a new format forced by circumstances, as the Environment did not authorize the test for the place where it had been carried out the previous five years without any problem. The Pontevedra estuary club landed in Cabanelas with a very powerful team that would end up taking several medals and beating the local team and organizer of the test, the Náutico O Muiño de Ribadumia. The third place on the podium occupied the Kayak Tudense.
The test was characterized by the intense heat that, at times, took its toll on the canoeists. The test started Sella style on the river beach of Oubiña, with the senior men’s kayaks as the spearhead. The boats descended the Umia River until they reached the dam that supplies water to the island of A Toxa. Over there The most spectacular images were experienced, with the mandatory carrying that all participants had to do and that would end up greatly influencing the participants’ choices. From there, descent to the Barrantes bridge and return to Cabanelas, where the arrival was.
