Save the Waves coalition, press release - Saturday, March 23, 2013 marks the second year of the campaign "Fuerza Chile! United for Clean Water" (Unidos por Aguas Limpias) for the preservation of Chilean beaches and coastline. Beginning in 2012 with five planned locations in three regions, the campaign grew into a grassroots national effort that included 16 sites in 9 regions.  Last year’s volunteer cleanup collected a total of 4,000 kilos of trash (over 500 bags) with the over 600 participants.  This collective action successfully cleaned more than 15 miles of Chilean coastline while restoring river mouths, estuaries, and beaches to their naturally beautiful appearance. 
 

Cowboys of the sea

Tired of the 300-person lines in Malibu just to surf a quality wave, Argentine brothers Julián and Joaquín Azulay purchased basic camping gear and left Los Angeles a few days later, $1500 in their pockets and a dream to surf the intercontinental Pacific coastline. Their adventure lasted 403 days as they drove along the coast, surfing at some of the most pristine beaches in the Americas.

The 5th annual FutaFest held late last month in Futaleufu, in Chilean Patagonia’s Palena province, was blessed with good weather and enthusiastic competitors from all over, from France to Peru to the United States. The festival highlights the incredible quality of the Futaleufu River which still flows free and pristine through the region, and is justifiably dubbed by the event organizers as “the number one” river in the world for rafting and kayaking.  For sure, if you scan most top five lists about the world’s best spots for whitewater rafting it is going to be there.

article. We’re pleased to bring that to you now.

When we were planning the current issue’s special section on fly fishing in Patagonia, we looked around for the best places to distribute the magazine and we could surely find no place better than the Fly Fishing Show. Started more than two decades ago in Somerset, New Jersey, today the Fly Fishing Show is the largest fly fishing fair in the world. This year, from January to March, Fly Fishing Show events will be held in seven cities across the U.S.  Fortunately for us, the Fly Fishing Show also agreed to be an official sponsor of Patagon Journal and is distributing the magazine. Patagon Journal executive editor Jimmy Langman recently interviewed Fly Fishing Show co-director Ben Furminisky about the expo and Furminisky’s views in general on the sport.
