The Global Paddling Community

People always complain about the lack of nice white water photographs, apart from the ones in the paddling magazines ... and nobody really wants to destroy his magazines! But when there is a problem, the Slugs have a solution and this time, they give you the 2002 Slugs calendar: 12 high resolution PDF files (see low resolution jpeg, 30.5 kb) featuring action on awesome whitewater round the world, all that for FREE. Read on to get yours now ! Merry Christmas !!!

If you don't know the Slugs, read here and here. These are reviews of two paddling videos featuring the Slugs in action in places where the pictures for the calendar come from (Canada and Norway amongst others). Basically, the Slugs are a group of scottish paddlers and it just happen than some of them are into graphic design and multimedia so they very kindly provide material for PLAYAK.COM.

This time, the 2002 Slugs calendar is an idea of Dave Kwant and Nick Mallabar. It has been designed by Steve Rogers. ( Nice one Steve ! ) The pictures are from Steve Rogers, Dave Kwant, Greg Nicks and Emma King. The calendar features action from Norway, Canada, Scotland and the Zambezi. The 2002 Slugs Calendar is here for you, completely free of charge thanks to the support of Eskimo kayaks, SystemX and PLAYAK.COM who provides the bandwidth.

The technical bit now. Each month is an A4 page in PDF format. The size of each file varies between 520 kbytes and 930 kbytes. They are at 300dpi resolution, which means that if you have a nice A4 colour printer, you will have a photo quality print*. To get an idea of the picture quality and the layout that Steve used, have a look at these snapshots of january (JPEG format, 26.5 kb) and february (JPEG format, 30.5 kb). Nice hey? The PDFs are even better !
