In May, Southern Tides Magazine will present its Third Annual Paddling Edition featuring articles on kayaking, canoeing and standup paddleboarding (SUP).

In previous years, topics included safety and self-rescue techniques, kayaking and SUP instruction, paddling business spotlights, and kayak fishing. Our writers also took you along on paddling trips in St. Augustine Creek, Ebenezer Creek, the Okefenokee Swamp, and the entire 100-mile Georgia coast.

We’re looking forward sharing more great content this May, and we invite your input!
