Launched in '99, Rapid is North America's first and only whitewater kayaking and canoeing magazine. Inside you'll find the best river trips, the hottest whitewater kayak, canoe and gear reviews, expert advice and the coolest freestyle tricks and proven river running techniques you'd expect to find in the industry-leading whitewater magazine. Rapid's commitment to whitewater paddling comes from the passion of our editors, designers, writers, photographers, and especially our readers. Rapid delivers the river!
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.
