Here's a quick first picture of Ocean Paddler magazine being read by a friend (who's a non-paddler and has bought it!).

So far, the response from everyone has been fantastic. Mostly non-paddlers, it's generated a lot of enthusiastic comments from them, especially the look and feel of the magazine and particularly the photography contained within it.

Rich and I are very pleased with how it looks. Despite having both seen every page when being designed, and having read every word many times, we've both been blown away with how great the finished product is. Hopefully, it's everything we want it to be - a magazine that proudly shows of sea kayaking at its best and which paddlers will proudly show off to their non-paddling friends, and a magazine that attracts non-paddlers into the world of sea kayaking.

Please let us know, your comments are appreciated!
