Go with the flow
Welcome to Canoe & Kayak UK Magazine's On-line branch. Canoe & Kayak UK is dedicated to providing the most topical and detailed coverage of the whole paddling scene. Written by paddlers, for paddlers. Well the dust has finally settled on our 100th issue and we've been enjoying the sunshine and getting some time on the water. Junior Writer Ross has been off in Canada, on the Ottawa River, for a month, open canoeing, gear testing and playboating, while the rest of us have been beavering away putting together another rather stonking issue. There's something for everyone. From sea kayakers to open boaters. River runners to elite slalom racers!
Have fun and paddle safe
Jason Smith - Editor
Did you know that you can now post your very own paddling movies in the gallery? Get a camera, get your mates, hit the water, film the fun then whack online for all the paddling world to see. If you'd like a few top tips on how to make your own clip head here...
We love a bit of gossip, or some hot product here at Canoe & Kayak Towers and now, thanks to our NEW on-line news feed feature, we'll be able to share it daily with you guys, red hot, as soon as it comes in! Trevor Macdonald watch out!
