the Ultimate Adventucation COMBINING REST AND RELAXATION WITH THE SPIRIT OF ADVENTURE IN THE FLORIDA KEYS • Kathy Holcombe wanted to do something relaxing for her next vacation. The problem? After spending her entire adult life in pursuit of adventure and sport, the thought of just sitting on a beach held little appeal, and so the idea of an “Adventucation,” combining rest and relaxation with a spirit of adventure, was born. Kathy recruited four friends for a 126-mile paddle from Key Largo to Key West, enticing them with visions of beautiful beach resorts and margaritas along the way.

PAUL VILLECOURT LOOKING FOR THE RIVER SENSE… • From his first paddle strokes in Bourg Saint Maurice, on France’s Isère River, Paddlesports have run through photographer Paul Villecourt’s life. Paul followed whitewater around the world and then spent over a decade documenting the adventures of others before starting Europe’s biggest open canoe festival. In 2017, Paul decided it was time again for an adventure of his own, paddling 1500+ kilometers across France in a canoe. We caught up with Paul on the occasion of the 9th edition of the festival to hear how the former adrenaline junkie now finds solace on the river.
