Playak News Flash
Our famous News Flash informs tens of thousands of paddlers around the world about the most popular paddling news each day. Playak editors hand-pick the best headlines 24/7, and those that are viewed most by our readers are sent out in the News Flash. Each Friday, we send out the Weekly Digest (instead of the daily News Flash), containing the top headlines of the past 7 days, as well as the most popular videos and forum topics, plus a list of upcoming events.

Message of the Day
Retiring News Flash and Weekly Digest mails in August 2024 I developed the News Watch service and the News Flash mailings back in 2004, when social media hardly existed, people actually browsed the web on desktop computers, and e-mail was the most relevant service for personal communication.
These days people spend more time on social media than websites, and use apps on phones and tablets to do so. In personal communication, messengers (X, Facebook, Signal, Whatsapp, Discord, Telegram, …) have become much more important than e-mail for most people.
Since 2004, I have used homemade robots to gather paddling news, and from that flood of news I hand-picked the most relevant headlines 365 days per year. In the past 15 years I’ve paid several assistants for this daily work. I’ve found it hard to stop this service, as so much love and sweat went into building and maintaining it, but now the time has come to recognize that it is just not worth it anymore.
The above is how I assess the situation. If you see it differently, please let me know.
I hope you have enjoyed these services during the past 20 years.
Cheers,
Jeroen
