Boards For All Sizes

We put a lot of care into what we do, and that extends from our students’ safety out on the water to the quality of instruction to the quality of the boards that we provide for you to ride. And that includes having a board that fits your body size and level of experience. We’ve got everything from 12′ Surftech Laird Hamilton models designed by Ron House (a world-reknowned shaper and close personal friend) to 9’3″ “Ripper” custom-shaped boards by Blaine Chambers of Paddle Surf Hawaii (another good friend that we’re proud to know). And we’ve got all kinds of shapes and sizes in between. We know that having a great time on the water starts with having a great instructor and having the right equipment, and take pride in making sure that you’re covered on both of those points!

As Challenging As You Want It To Be

The great thing about stand-up paddling is that it’s so versatile: it can be just as fun on calm, easy water as it is out in the surf. Stand-up paddling is a great way to catch and ride waves of all sizes, a great way to get a full-body endurance and core-strength workout, and a great way to just relax and spend some time out in the beauty of the North Shore’s environment. It’s all a matter of what you’re into and what you like to do. No place in the world has the level and variety of waves that the North Shore of Oahu provides. If you’re into wave riding, we can teach you how to catch waves and we can take you to some of the best breaks on the planet. But we also know that not everyone wants to go charging in the surf. So, while our instructors are all great wave riders, we’ve also got some great easy tours for individuals and families that want to just have a fun, relaxing time outside and on the water. There’s a good chance you’ll see turtles, peacocks, and some other cool wildlife, and you’ll definitely see a lot of the local scenery. Just let us know what you’re interested in and we can put together something that fits you!

Get Started in Hawaii and Take It Home With You

One of the great things about stand-up paddling is that you don’t need to live by the ocean to do it. All you need is water and a board. And it’s a great way to stay in shape year round. Whether you live on the coast, or near a lake, river, or reservoir, it’s something that you can experience, learn, and keep with you long after you’ve left Hawaii!
