They welcome submissions dealing with any aspects of rowing, swimming, sailing, diving, surfing, fishing, canoeing and any other recreational or competitive maritime, riverine or other aquatic sporting activity, including the practices, participants, organization, or institutions of aquatic sport. They particularly encourage submissions dealing with issues, practices, and cultures outside Europe and North America. Please submit your paper by Monday, April 7, 2025. Papers should be no longer than 10,000 words, including references. Full guidance on preparation and the publication process is available on the journal’s website.
