Melissa said: <<I've had the dubious honor of being the "bad example" on the cover of a paddling magazine (Sea Kayaker, April '99).>> <snip> Yes Melissa, you created quite a stir if memory serves me correctly. I believe it was during your pre-Paddlewise days. Perhaps more interesting than the debate the omission of a helmet caused, was the fact that because no helmet was being worn during the photo, your long hair had full exposure to the camera lens -- causing many to think the kayaker in the photo was a long-haired macho male kayak surfer. Whether it was at the magazine rack at the local kayak store, or even the editorial staff at SK Magazine conducting an impromptu poll when people called in on other matters, everyone I know was asking each other if it was a male or a female on the cover. Oh Melissa, you controversial chick! ("chick" isn't PC, but I'm using it as a term of endearment :-) ).
