Volume 1, Issue 1 is out!

 
Wild Coast Publishing purchases Wavelength Magazine
April 12, 2008 - Wild Coast Publishing has signed an agreement with Pacific Edge Publishing owners Ron and Diana Mumford to take over publishing the kayaking resource Wavelength Magazine effective July 1, 2008. This means Wild Coast Publishing owner and kayaking guidebook author John Kimantas will be editor of Wavelength beginning the fall 2008 issue. Wavelength is circulated free from British Columbia to California to Toronto and all points between, and is regarded as the top kayaking and paddling resource on the Pacific coast. It's a perfect fit for Wild Coast Publishing, and particularly owner John Kimantas, who has an extensive kayaking background and has recently entered the magazine publishing world with Wild Coast Magazine. Visit Wavelength here.
Wild Coast Magazine to return summer 2009
May 23, 2008 - Wild Coast Magazine was launched in spring 2008 as the only outdoor recreation magazine for Vancouver Island and the BC coast. Because of the acquisition of Wavelength Magazine, and faced with the demands running this established publication, Wild Coast Magazine will switch to a single edition in 2009. This will allow Wild Coast Publishing to continue this much-needed ecotourism magazine without disrupting the focus on Wavelength.
