Advertising

The SA Paddler magazine reaches a lucrative, niched market of approximately 7000 subscribers 6 times a year. In a sport with limited media coverage, it provides valuable and vital information on the sport. Paddlers are outdoor adventure enthusiasts who have a high regard for healthy living and an active lifestyle. They take part in a number of other sports such as running and mountain-biking, and place a strong emphasis on environmental awareness.

Advertising in the magazine offers the ideal way to tap into this community and build a tight relationship with paddlers and a strong affinity for your brand.
