NEIL SCHULMAN
Neil is a Seattle-based writer, photographer, paddling instruc- tor and conservationist. On page 45 he reports on the murky legal waters of river access issues and how they affect paddlers across North America. “Anyone who paddles will en-
counter river access issues sooner or later,” says Neil. “Rivers are ar- teries, and the patchwork of land ownership they flow through inevitably creates the poten- tial for conflict—and hopefully resolution.”
JAMES RAFFAN
Writer, adventurer and former executive director at the Cana- dian Canoe Museum, James re- cently completed a multi-legged journey around the world for his new book, Circling the Midnight Sun. On page 20 he delves into our collective past via the portage trail. “If we were to imagine a se- riously super sniffer dog, I imag- ine that the animal could smell the trail of these historic figures. What’s in the river changes, but trails just are—they exist.”

ALL FOR THE GOON STROKE (AKA RIVER J). IT’S MUCH EASIER ON JOINTS BECAUSE THERE IS LESS TWISTING OF THE WRIST, WHICH OVER LONG DISTANCES MAKES A BIG DIFFERENCE, EVEN IF IT’S NOT AS EFFICIENT. Carrie Nolan
RE: 1000-KILOMETER CANOE TRIP DOCUMENTARY, NINE RIVERS
Great video, but doesn’t seem like they had much fun—the canoeists look they’re about to cry half the time. June McVie
