He is also senior editor at SUP magazine, which he helped launch in 2009. Shively is an expert at both living through and crafting others’ adventure narratives; from Nunavut to New Orleans, and tracking the rise of standup paddleboarding from fjords in Alaska to canals in Venice. Having taken a lead on the title’s marquee longform assignments, Shively’s story on Ed Gillet (Canoe & Kayak, May 2014) earned a nod as a finalist for the 2015 Western Publishing Association Maggie Awards’ Best Feature Article award.
