Welcome to The Rapid Board 10 Months ago Karma: 1
I guess it makes sense that I'm the first one to post and introduce myself.

I'm the publisher and founder here at Rapid Media, the producers of Rapid magazine and this new site.

Founder and Publisher is a lofty title which only means in my twenties I decided instead of a real job I'd try and start a whitewater paddling magazine, The River Rag.

The River Rag morphed into Rapid even before our first issue.

We've needed, for a long time, a website to compliment Rapid magazine. Readers I meet at shows and on rivers always ask why we didn't have one. Great question.

Truth of the matter is that I was too busy launching other paddling magazines (Adventure Kayak, Canoeroots, Kayak Angler) and launching and producing events like Palmer Fest and the Reel Paddling Film Festival.

Now with a solid staff team, we have the time to add the missing piece of the Rapid puzzle — rapidmag.com — creating an online community for you, our readers.

There is no doubt that this forum and site will evolve just as our magazines, our media company, whitewater and you all evolve.

As much as I enjoy technology and social media, I sincerely hope that you spend as much (or more) time on rivers as you will typing at one another on The Rapid Board.

For when you can't be surfing, I hope this forum and greater site will help keep the passion alive inside.

If you are new to whitewater my hope is that you will find something here that will ignite a crazy desire inside you to get outside and explore.

Enjoy,

Scott

Hi Scott, how are you?

I'm new to whitewater kayaking and came to Rapid Mag still don't know how! Maybe it was Zinio searching tool.

Tried whitewater kayaking just the other day for the very first time on those inflatable 2 people boat and it is was just awesome.

That's it!
