Good point Nick! I too feel that the new 'look' of Sea Kayaker is not 
as interesting visually as the former one. I suppose an editor of any 
magasine needs to 'update' the image now and then, but somehow, this 
version doesn't cut it for me. It's a personal opinion totally.

In fact, it is much less the enthusiast's magasine than it used to be. 
It seems to be positioning itself more to the neophyte paddler and less 
to those of us who read it to learn something new or go someplace new. 
Is it because there are many more new paddlers out there than older 
ones and the market drives all?

Is it time for a new magasine for us long time paddlers?
