TESTIMONIALS

"I thought the April/May 2005 issue of Wave Length was one of the best issues I have read. I particularly like the article by Robert Brown. All to often we read of catastrophes caused by lack of common sense and lack of being prepared for the conditions. Take your pick of kayaking, cross country skiing, hiking, boating, etc., most the articles that reach the papers are due to lack of common sense or preparedness for the conditions. I would hope that all of your readers have learned from this issue."
- Jon Cash


"About 5 years ago, my wife and I, along with 2 other couples and their families, enjoyed a week of sea-kayaking in Desolation Sound. One of the other couples had the address of the outfitter from your magazine, and I made note of your website, and have downloaded every issue since. Your magazine is a breath of fresh air, 6 times a year, to this 'Ol Boy. I have absolutely no criticism to make, and could go on for hours about the good points. I like your Ads, I like your editorial column, I like every one of your regular Columnists, I simply like your magazine very much."
- Craig Smith, Germany
