A year ago I wrote my first article for WaveLength introducing the "Paddling Partners Page".

I want to thank the almost 300 paddlers who have made submissions either looking for, or offering to be, a paddling partner. WaveLength has had submissions from around the world-from Australia and New Zealand, from the Northwest Territories to Prince Edward Island, from Florida to Alaska, from Wales, Scotland and England to continental Europe, to Argentina, Turkey, Israel, Hong Kong and Indonesia.

Due to this very positive response and the number of partners involved, we have upgraded this page to make it more friendly for the user.

New submissions are now posted immediately. We have also created more room for you to describe your paddling area, and have added two new categories, one for province or state, and one for country. Until now, users had to scroll the list of 300 names to try and find a partner in their paddling area of choice. These two new categories will allow users of this page to request only those names that are in the country or state/province of their choice.You can get to the Paddling Partners page from a link on the Home Page at www.WaveLengthMagazine.com

Here at WaveLength we are continuing to look to the future, providing a website that is both informative and entertaining for the global paddling community. If you have ideas for new features for the site, we would be more than happy to hear about them. You can email your thoughts to me at webadmin@WavelengthMagazine.com .
