Canoe & Kayak magazine?
 

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

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

It's not bad. Sorta indifferent? I read it for a year, but let it
drop for a year. I'm thinking of picking it up again.

I like "Sea Kayaker" better, though it's not as slick, not quite as
polished in some ways, but with good info and reviews. They need to
put out 12 issues instead of six.

"Sorta indifferent" is a good description. When I had a subscription, they
seem to be afraid to say anything negative about any canoe in a review.

Thanks!

I'm a kayaker, not a canoer (I also have an Adirondack Guideboat, but that is
definitely NOT A CANOE! ;-)

How much of the mag is normally given to kayaks vs canoes? Given my kayak
prejudice, I don't want to pay for a magazine that is 75% canoe-oriented...

It's a lot like "Bicycling" is for cyclists; that is, it's got a lot of
beginner oriented articles and repeats the same type of stuff ad nauseum
over the years. If you're relatively new to kayaking, you may enjoy it.
I have a subscription, but have no plans to renew it when it expires.

As someone else said, Sea Kayaker is a better mag if that's where your
interest lies. If you're into whitewater, Paddler may be OK, but I find
it to be largely useless. I'd rather have a cheaper ACA membership
without the magazine.

been around for 30 years, and i've read it off and on since that time....

i think it's good, i used to sub for a year or two, stop for a year or two,
most bookstores with magazine racks stack it, check it out and see if it
appeals to you. most canoe and kayak shops stock it too

I do not subscribe but have read it at the library. May be a good
source to review current and back issues to determine if you want to
subscribe. I am sea kayaker myself and subscribe to Sea Kayaker and
Adventure Kayak.
