The internet has changed the rules of the game, and people nowadays don't depend on magazines as a source of information. Even those who still read paddling magazines no longer take them seriously, and they surf the web like everybody else. Bob I don’t see why would anyone care about those magazines.

A Canadian kayaking magazine called Wave-length published a big story on the W a couple of years ago, and ACA's official magazine called Paddler published a review on the W last year, which is "better than nothing". It's the other magazines and publications that have shown a lack of professionalism and disregard to their readers by choosing to cover much less significant subjects.

I wouldn't even dream of standing in a kayak or a canoe going down a river because if I happened to lose my balance I'd go overboard, inevitably.
