"The Journal"
The American Whitewater Journal  was first published in 1955 as the first whitewater magazine in the United States.  It was full of stories written by AW members nationwide with safety information, equipment information, and tips for better paddling technique.  Not much has changed with the magazine.  It is still written by AW members, it is still full of great content for whitewater paddlers throughout the country. 

American Whitewater Journal is the only magazine in the United States focusing on whitewater paddling.
