La Malate Wave August 2010




I just come back from russia and the rain fall a lot at home, I check the water levels on the Doubs river and it look’s awesome !!!
I haven’t freestyle boat , so I take my Scud creek boat and joins my friends on the malate wave with 400Cubics.

RUSSIA 2010


During one month I have enjoyed the most spectacular scenery on the Altay region close to China, Kazakhstan and Mongolia.
It is through these landscapes in the middle of nowhere that the ADIDAS team paddled on the most mythical rivers of grade IV V V volume.


A first time for me to be able paddling such biggest rivers, live unforgettable stories
in a corner of Russia where the wild life of peoples and villages still reigns.
We crossed the Altay area to get the most beautiful and largest rivers like
the Chulishman, Argut, Bashkaus, etc. ....



Some rivers can be done in one day, but most require several days and that is why
we had two mini vans 4X4 to go in this desert of mountains on dirt tracks, sand,
gravel or mud. Not forgetting the two drivers and our guide Tomass Manics (Member of Team Adidas) that very familiar with the roads, stores supplies, local laws, the behavior of
people and of course the rivers to guide us for the better through these vast extended.
A great trip and great time kayaking with some pictures and scary stories!
