    • Baring it all is the final step in stripping civilization
    This essay originally appeared in Adventure Kayak magazine.    No wilderness experience is complete without casting off that final thread of civilization: the swimsuit. Reminiscing on the times I’ve skinny dipped takes me back to the core of my wilderness trips, to the very reasons I went in the first place. Floating naked in Indian Arm outside Vancouver on a…

    • An argument for poor planning
    This essay originally appeared in Adventure Kayak magazine.    Within two hours of paddling out from the sheltered waters of Castlehaven, the coastline of Cork was a distant scribble three miles to the north and I was further out at sea, alone, in a kayak than I’d ever been before.

    • Paddling parents rekindle the romance
    This Waterlines essay originally appeared in Adventure Kayak magazine.  A paddling buddy once told me that kids are like orcas—beautiful in pictures and best admired from a distance, hard to care for and most likely fatal if you get too close.

About Adventure Kayak Magazine

Adventure Kayak is the international paddling magazine for sea kayakers, touring kayakers and lakewater kayakers. Adventure Kayak is smart, informative and action-packed editorial, mixing in the soft-sided human-interest stories and the lifestyle that is this sport's massive appeal. We believe paddling should be daily recreation, not a once-in-a-lifetime vacation. Our award-winning writers file stories from all over the world, from multi-month expeditions to inland waterways where our readers live, work and play.

About Rapid Media

What began in the summer of '98 as scribbles on a bar napkin is now the world's best paddlesports media company. Rapid Media has four paddling magazines, produces an international paddling film festival, had the very first paddling and fishing magazines in iTunes, and is the official partner of both the American Canoe Association and Paddle Canada. We're proud of all this, but the real reason we're the best is because we paddle and we care.
