The first major kayaking event of the season, the Copa de España de Kayak de Mar, took place in Torrevieja, organised by the Real Club Náutico Torrevieja. With four hundred and five paddlers participating, entries grew by five percent compared to previous events, highlighting the increasing interest in the sport. Competitors included two hundred and eighty-three men and one hundred and twenty-one women across several categories, including youth and veteran classes.

Due to adverse weather conditions, organisers modified the course to ensure paddler safety. The original route posed risks due to high winds and sea conditions, leading to an alternative circuit. The competition commenced on Saturday, first featuring the mixed SS2 Infants race, which covered a total of two thousand metres.

The challenging marine conditions tested all competitors and their coaches throughout the event, yet excitement remained high as spectators witnessed extraordinary performances. The Club Deportivo Básico de Piragüismo El Sella emerged victorious in the club rankings, followed closely by the Club de Mar Mallorca and Club Piragüismo Marlines de Lanzarote.

The awards ceremony took place at the Real Club Náutico Torrevieja, with club president Carlos Carmona, Sports Councillor Diana Box, and coach Alberto Gómez recognising the athletes’ dedication in a competition characterised by technical prowess and determination.
