It is sad for things to come to an end, especially things that helped define a culture. I am pleased got one appearance in the legendary Sea Kayaker Magazine before it disappeared, with the publication of a Pygmy Kayaks full page advert.

Sea Kayaker Magazine Writes in there blog for the last time.
"For nearly 30 years, Sea Kayaker magazine has been
an exemplary cornerstone of the sea kayaking community and a defining
influence for the standards of our sport. We’ve been pleased and proud
to share 157 issues with the kayaking community, but now we must
announce with great regret and sadness that this Issue of Sea Kayaker
magazine will be our last. In the course of our many years of service
to kayakers around the world, we’ve seen many changes in sea kayaking,
the industry it supports, and the business of print and web media. For
our first two decades the changes generally worked in our favor, but
over this past decade, the tide slowly turned. Though
the magazine and the website continue to draw nearly universal praise
from our readers, we recently recognized that we’ve been paddling
against an overwhelming current and it’s time to come ashore. And so,
we’re celebrating the final chapter of the Sea Kayaker legacy with our special 158th issue, the February 2014.
TO OUR SUBSCRIBERS – It is difficult to bring an end to a publication
supported by subscriptions. For many of our loyal readers, this last
issue will be shy of the number of issues they expect to receive. We
have been working with Rapid Media (www.adventurekayakmag.com) and have
arranged for our incomplete subscriptions to be fulfilled by
Adventure Kayak, a magazine devoted to sea kayak touring. Our subscribers will receive an issue of
Adventure Kayak
for every issue remaining on their subscription. We encourage you to
give the magazine a try. Rapid’s founder and publisher, Scott MacGregor,
has graciously invited
Sea Kayaker magazine’s editor Chris Cunningham to contribute to
Adventure Kayak and he’s look forward to adding a touch of
Sea Kayaker and some of his views to the magazine."
