41 North: Media Darlings?

41 North has had its share of press coverage. People like kayaking, and every summer we field requests for interviews and stories. Since 2003, our little company has been the cover story of Friday Magazine, got a passing mention in the New York Times travel section, has been featured in an Ohio Department of Tourism Ad in Real Simple Magazine, was highlighted in Paddle Dealer Magazine, and was given Cleveland Magazine's coveted "Best of Cleveland" nod in 2006.

41 North was in the news again this week. This time one of series in which Cleveland Plain Dealer health and fitness reporter Zach Lewis tries new sports and writes about their health benefits.

Zach came down to our rental facility a few weeks ago for a quick introduction to the sport. After going through the gear, filming a little video, and taking him through a truncated 1 hr lesson, we paddled out the Lake. The reporter, who had been cruising along just fine in flatwater was a little less comfortable in the 1ft swell rolling, but managed just fine.
