Q&A

Q: Is there an age limit for the stand-up paddleboard lesson?

A: There’s no strict age limit, but kids as young as 8 can join if they’re accompanied by an adult. The instructors are super helpful and make it fun for all ages! Just make sure they can swim a bit, since it’s in the ocean. I saw a family with kids there, and they had a blast!

Q: Can I reschedule if the weather doesn’t cooperate?

A: Yes, you can reschedule if the conditions are unsafe. They usually keep you updated on the weather, and if it looks dicey, they’ll reach out to help find a better time. Just make sure to contact them as soon as you know!

Q: What should I wear for the paddleboard lesson?

A: Wear something comfortable like a swimsuit or activewear. They provide rashguards if you want to avoid sunburn. Also, reef shoes are included, so you won’t need to bring your own. Just make sure you’re ready to get wet!

Just did the SUP lesson at Ala Moana - what a blast!

I just finished the stand-up paddleboard lesson with Surf HNL and it was amazing! The instructors were super cool, showing us all the techniques. I went with a small group and it felt really personal. The water was perfect, warm and calm. Definitely recommend it for anyone looking to try something new in Oahu! I can’t wait to do it again next time!

Thinking of gifting this paddleboard lesson - any advice?

I’m thinking about gifting the paddleboard lesson to my sister for her birthday. She’s never done it before, and I want to make sure it’s a good experience. Is it fun for newbies? And how’s the overall vibe? Any tips on what to expect?
