Interested in writing or submitting photographs for California Paddler Magazine? Please read the following to understand what we look for. California Paddler Magazine (formerly California Kayaker Magazine) is a regional kayaking publication focusing on being the resource for paddlesports information for the southwest (CA, OR, AZ, NV, and Baja). We are dedicated to promoting fun and responsible paddling, and advocating for increased paddling opportunities in this region. Published two to four times per year on glossy stock in full color, it is distributed free at kayaking, SUP, sports, and boating outlets in the region. Every issue will also available as a free PDF download from our website.
Our readers paddle a variety of kayaks, canoes, SUPs, etc., in a variety of conditions (recreational, white water, rock gardening, surfing, racing, etc.) and vary in skill level from just entering the sport to 5 star paddlers. Our readers should come away from the magazine with new knowledge of some aspect of paddlesports.

You are a freelancer with enthusiasm and passion for the active lifestyle, as well as experience and knowledge of paddlesports. You don't have to be a pro, but you must have an eye for detail and understanding about the sport you are writing about. It also helps to be a good storyteller!
