8 ADVENTURE KAYAK | SUMMER/FALL 2012
growing number of kayakers embracing traditional skills, boats and equipment. The attention received vocal appre- ciation from readers who’ve “caught the green virus” in the parlance of featured trad guru Turner Wilson. On Face- book, Heather Adams wrote, “Thank you for the great write-up about Ontario Greenland Camp.” Birgit Kuhle messaged, “Just got the new mag—excellent,” while John Olson gushed, “Awesome issue!” From across the Atlantic, Welsh filmmaker Justine Curgenven gave a nod to our cover line and thanked us for the press, “Quite a few people have been talking about Turner’s clairvoyant
abilities...and the fact that you did a Greenland style issue. I have noticed a significant increase in This is the Roll DVD sales in North America, which I think may well be due to the mag.”
MISSING YOUTH
When Tim Gallaway asked the question, “Where are all the young people paddling?” (Wa- terlines, Early Summer 2012,
www.adventurekayakmag.com/0061), readers had a few theo- ries. “I’m guessing they’re in front of their Xbox...” wrote Michael Appelmans on Facebook.A whole bunch of Ings countered, “I’ve met many young people kayaking. Most just don’t have time to join clubs or get out as much as they wish they could due to work and family.”
PADDLE CRAZY
Last issue, we asked readers how much they typically spend on their paddles and reviewed six hot sticks to suit nearly every style (“Paddle Deluxe,” page 31,
www.adventurekayak.com/0058. Which got us wondering, how many paddles do you own? Facebook fans responded with some surprising numbers: five was the most common response, followed closely by a modest three and two. Scott Brown took the prize for largest quiver with an impressive 42.Mike Fiedler wouldn’t divulge his total but wrote, “I have my eyes on another…” Paddle acquisition syndrome was also an issue for Michael Crouse, who admitted, “More than 10…I think I have a problem!” Mean- while, Michael Bradley felt the question too intimate, “That’s kind of embarrassing, isn’t it?”
