Recent Happenings: Oct Ed. 🍂

PADDLE BOARDS

It's officially fall - one of our favorite times of the year to be on the water. It may be a little cooler, but it's calm, and the colors are stunning. Here are some recent updates...

TEAM UPDATES: The Paddle North Team continues to grow. Austin (Grand Rapids Store Manager) recently got married, and we added Andy to the team at our MN HQ. Be sure to stop by and say hi.
PADDLE NORTH ACQUIRES IDOL SURF: In case you missed it, we've acquired idol surf and are partnering with legendary board shaper, Alex Brost, to expand our surf line. Learn more and read about it here.
NEW PRODUCT DROPS: Earlier this year, we launched our Shipwreck Shorts Swimsuit line. The response has exceeded our expectations and we recently released two new colors to our Hesper Shorts lineup - Fog and Sunrise. Check it out. We've also quietly launched our new Paddle Pouch. Not only will this keep your phone dry, but there is plenty of space for wallet, keys, etc.
BEAN AND BEAR LAKE: Last week, a group from Paddle North trekked up to complete one of our favorite fall hikes - Bean and Bear Lake. This time, we decided to hike in with inflatable paddle boards. It was incredibly challenging, but very rewarding. Watch a recap here, or read our guide on achieving this hike yourself with extra gear.
COLD WEATHER STORAGE + PADDLING: If you're looking to store your Paddle North products for the winter, we've put together a helpful guide for your inflatable gear, or solid paddle board. But if you're looking to stay on the water for a bit longer, be sure to shop our Superior Wetsuit collection.
PADDLE NORTH HOUSE: We recently unveiled the Paddle North House - a 5,000 sq ft space thoughtfully designed for family and friends to escape and explore Duluth and the North Shore. It is now available for bookings - check it out here.
