Learn to stand up paddle (SUP) in Kailua! This ancient water sport has made a major comeback with the help of new board technology, increasing the performance and ease of riding. Stand up paddling combines the thrill of surfing with the techniques of paddling, a match made in heaven. Kailua offers a variety of conditions, from flat water cruising to moderate chop and rolling waves. Lessons generally stick to the calmest areas to practice basic strokes and techniques.

Our lessons start with paddling instruction and a brief intro class in our Beach Center. Next you’ll head to Kailua Beach Park where the instructor will help you launch your board and stand up. Paddle boarders head out towards Popoiʻa “Flat Island” and typically land here for a break and island tour. Guides provide snacks and water and help capture photos on your SUP lesson.
