Private stand up paddleboard lessons on Waikiki Beach, Honolulu

Paddleboarding is a popular local pastime in the Hawaiian Islands! The sport as we know it today became popularised during the Beach Boy culture of Waikiki back in the early 1900s and particularly by the great Hawaiian waterman Duke Kahanamoko. If you’re looking for a fun alternative to surfing or simply a fulfilling and serene pastime out on the water, stand up paddle boarding is the perfect activity for you!

Waikiki Beach is a great spot for stand up paddleboard (SUP) lessons, not only because of its iconic location and history of paddleboarding but because the shallow, protected waters are perfect conditions for beginners to the sport. Stand up paddling allows you to get the best views of land and ocean: while learning to paddleboard at Waikiki Beach you’ll enjoy stunning views of the Pacific Ocean, the Honolulu skyline, and Diamond Head crater! Because SUP also allows you to safely venture out in deeper water than you normally might when swimming, there is also a great chance you will spot Honolulu’s local sea turtles and other curious sea creatures during your paddleboarding lesson at Waikiki Beach!

During your SUP lesson, your instructor will teach you about the history of stand up paddleboarding, safety tips, techniques, and its many benefits – the personalised instruction will be tailored to your interests and comfort. Paddleboarding can be as exciting or peaceful as you want it to be and is a great activity for people of all ages and a variety of abilities. When you learn how to stand up paddleboard you are learning a skill you can practise for the rest of your life and all over the world!
