About Us
| SOUTH FLORIDA ADVENTURES MEDIA GROUP Launched in June 2005, South Florida Adventures publishes an outdoor sports and fitness newsletter and website. In 2005 it also began publishing a glossy outdoor sports magazine with a controlled circulation of 10,000 copies distributed at gyms, sporting goods stores and select events in Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach counties. In January 2008 the magazine’s circulation increased to 25,000 copies. Despite its growth, which included the University Press of Florida in 2008 signing the company to publish the magazine as a book, and the South Florida Sun Sentinel Co. deciding to partner on a second fitness magazine, South Florida Adventures eventually stopped printing its magazine due to the recession.
