Soiree

2007 Soiree invite

October 2007

BREAKING NEWS: This year's soiree has been scrapped due to the great British summer. Having taken advice from the met office, and with close scrutiny of wind guru we have decided that for the first time in six years, we should cancel the soiree. There is a severe weather warning for Saturday night and rain throughout Sunday. If it is possible to arrange another weekend around the busy scouting 100th anniversary bookings, we will. Other possibilities can be considered. Sorry!

New kayak magazine

Ocean Paddler - The sea kayaking magazine

June 2007

Launching in July, 'Ocean Paddler - The sea kayaking magazine' is a new and exciting concept in UK paddlepsort publications; aimed solely at the sea and touring kayak paddler and published 12 times a year by 'Masik Publishing,' Ocean Paddler's 84 pages will include trip and expedition reports, technique articles, reviews, guides, interviews and much, much more. All our articles will inform, enthuse and excite today's sea paddler - we guarantee it!

Sea kayaking covers many different elements; from day trips to overnight sojourns; from weekend to week-long paddles; from full-blown expeditions to short play sessions in surf or tidal races and all in conditions, ranging from mild to wild and so will we... Beginners, intermediates, and experts alike will revel in the coverage our publication will bring to this amazing sport.

The UK is rightly viewed as a leader in sea kayak manufacturing and design; our coaches are, undoubtedly, amongst the best, if not the best in the World, and we think it's about time that UK sea kayaking had the dedicated, monthly magazine it so richly deserves.

Printed on high quality paper, all from sustainable sources, Ocean Paddler will be a huge step forward from other UK based kayaking magazines; there are, of course, other UK paddling magazines covering sea kayaking, but only one monthly title that is entirely dedicated to the needs of the sea kayaker - Ocean Paddler! Through our determination to include only the very best content we have secured the exclusive services of the World's best paddlesport wordsmiths and photographers, all of whom are as excited about Ocean Paddler as we are!
