With heavy rain forecast for this weekend, river levels are set to rise. If you're planning to head out for a paddle, there are likely to be new hazards and challenges along familiar routes. Your usual gentle river could soon put you beyond your paddling ability ⚠️

Remember to a) check river levels before you head out and b) be aware there might be new obstacles and more pollutants in the water. Stay safe by following our top tips 👉 https://orlo.uk/risingwaterlevels_4B9t1

Another great couple of days spent with some of my Scottish team mates to discover the range, and learn how to repair too!

Even better, the sun ☀️ came out for us when we arrived at Loch Lomond to test out the products on the water 🌊

After a long 3 years of COVID restrictions limiting physical training sessions within Decathlon, I’m SOOOO unbelievably happy to be back on the water doing what I love teaching Decathletes from around the U.K. everything about kayak/ SUP! 🛶☀️☀️

We spent an incredible 2 days learning everything about Itiwit 2022 collection, discovering the benefits to our customers and most importantly testing them out at Trafford Watersports Centre 🚣🌊🌊
