Maui Stand Up Paddle Board Rentals

So you’re interested in renting a stand up paddle board in Maui. Great choice! Stand up paddle boarding is a great activity to get you out on the wai (water) and riding the waves.

What Is Stand Up Paddle Boarding?

Stand up paddle boarding is an alternative surfing style that originated in Hawaii.  It began as a way to surf when there was little puana (swell) in the waves. Stand up paddle boarders stand on a surfboard and use a paddle to move themselves through the water. The board is a little wider and the paddle allows stand up paddle boarders to control where and how they move in the water. Some people even practice yoga poses on these boards, e no’ono’o ana (meditating) in the midst of the rustling ocean!

Where Can You Rent Stand Up Paddle Boards?

You can rent stand up paddle boards on the island of Maui from numerous places, including surf shops and equipment rental services. You can rent stand up paddle boards from Hawaiian Ocean Sports at our five locations across the island.

Why Take Stand Up Paddle Boarding Lessons?
