You’ll next head across to Kahalu’u Bay, and listen as your instructor explains how to properly paddle and maneuver your board.

So if you have a natural instinct of balance and strength, SUPs are fun. Corey was a good instructor and I managed to get up, standing and paddling in no time. Will recommended to anyone who's looking for a new water activity to try out.

This was a great experience. Everyone at the office was really helpful. Javier was a great teacher. He coached us every time we fell on how to get back up and adjust our posture to help us stay up longer. We had a toddler with us and we worried that someone would have to stay behind with him, but Javier kept him happy and on the board with him the whole time. Definitely made us fall in love with paddleboarding.
