start a boating blog and tattoo a paddling Tasmanian Devil on your ass.
But none of that captures the soul of our sport.“

“Paddling Life is a lush new magazine that celebrates your paddling lifestyle. Printed on oversized glossy paper five times a year (Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter and the Ultimate Gear Guide), Paddling Life has the same rich look as the best surf and ski publications, but inside it is pure paddling. Every issue is filled with thought-provoking features, cutting-edge news coverage, entertaining profiles, and lavish photos that put you where you belong–on the water. Whether you’re a sea kayaker, rafter, whitewater kayaker or canoeist–especially if you’re all of the above–come share the stoke that got us all hooked on padding.”
Their first issue features some of the well known women of sea kayaking such as Hadas Feldman, Wendy Killoran & Justine Curgvenven. Hmmmm, “Women of Sea Kayaking”, “Lavish pictures”. . . $9.99 for 5 issues? How can I resist??
Maybe next issue they can do a feature article called “How Bloggers Capture the Soul of our Sport”. Might be a good story there. . . and I’d probably start by interviewing Michael.

Derrick–I’m in for a year. Thanks. CD1
I can’t imagine they’ll capture the soul of paddling as well as you on your outstanding blog!
And how can I resist getting a subscription with content like that? LOL!
Wendy:-)
Really. I can just see it now all those great picture to cut out and glue. . .ah, tack to the wall. . .
I signed up for a year as well, but I’m still considering the tattoo. Something about picture books of kayaking this time of year that I can’t resist.
Hey, my video is the first link under their “Sea Kayaking” section — two links above Justine’s! Whoo hoo!
If blogging ain’t paddling, I guess publishing a glossy mag must surely be even worse! LOL
I think I’ll go paddling into the snowstorm and think about the $9.99…
Hey Andrew! I saw that, you rolling celebrity you!! Now just because you’re getting all the press doesn’t mean you can go out in public without underwear!!
If Paris and Brittney can go out in public without underwear, why can’t Andrew? Especially if he wears a skirt (or kilt)?
Well, I placed my subscription too. It would be interesting to know how many subscriptions Derrick generates, and what’s his cut?
On a similar note, it would be interestng to know what Derrick’s blog has generated for other businesses.
Keep up the info flow and good work Derrick!
thanks JB. . well I know they got my $9.99 anyway. No freebies for this kid.
