CONTRIBUTORS Justine Curgenven
Between meeting with the Queen of England at a reception for adventurers and prepar- ing to release two new sea kayaking DVDs—This is the Sea 5 and This is the Roll—Welsh filmmaker Justine Curgenven stole time from her hectic schedule to profile her occasional paddling partner and round-the-world hopeful Sarah Outen (“Outen About,” page 17). “No matter how tired Sarah was, she’d just keep on paddling,” says Curgenven, who’s no slouch herself. “She called me ‘Justine the machine!’”
Colin Field
A canoeist for years, Field is a self-described “newbie kayaker” who first took to sea kayaking out of geographic convenience. Based near Georgian Bay’s world-class beaches and islands where he is a freelance photojournalist (
www.colinfield.com) and editor ofMountain Life magazine, Field says, “My day job keeps me busy but it also means that I can call things like kayaking, biking, skiing, canoeing and hiking ‘work’ without feeling too guilty about it.” His image in the Photo Annual is on page 34.
Charlotte Jacklein
Outdoor educator and guide Jacklein has lead kayak trips in Hawaii, Ireland, Prince Ed- ward Island and the Great Lakes. She drew on her peripatetic paddling resume for Adven- ture Kayak’s guide to 12 of North America’s best paddling cities (“Urban Legends,” page 51). “My favorite cities are all near water,” says Jacklein, “whether avoiding the Honolulu crowds by surfing the Waikiki breaks at night, or bringing in the New Year with a January surf ses- sion off the Toronto Islands.”
John Dowd
As a pioneering author and entrepreneur, Dowd is one of sea kayaking’s most respected advocates. After traveling the world for 15 years sea kayaking, climbing and working vari- ously as an Outward Bound instructor, safari tour operator and commercial diver, he settled in British Columbia and co-founded the world’s first specialty sea kayaking shop in 1980. In this issue’s Rock the Boat (page 18), he raises concerns that a cultural shift is threatening the sport’s long-term popularity. “Kayaking is all about freedom,” says Dowd.
