I recently got a mail solicitation from them for a subscription.

Is anyone here familiar with the magazine? Good/bad/indifferent?

It occasionally swings from the divine to the also ran but they are a bunch
of bright young things trying their very best. It's the only kayak mag I buy
every month. I like their mix of features, so some dark lump of Scottish
coastal kayaking sits alongside a tropical excursion. Their product reviews
can be a little limited, so a feature on PFDs won't list the same features
across differant ranges.
However if I was to bet the cover price on who I might trust in the media,
C&K comes first, and they are such well mannered and polite folk, which
rates higly in my book, it's not like phoning perception for a trade price
list. ;-}
cheers,
