STAND UP PADDLE SURFING

Stand up paddle surfing is a becoming a very popular surfing style. It was originally called "beach boy surfing", named after the famous Waikiki beach boys, who combined their outrigger canoe paddling skills with their surfing skills. Stand up paddle surfing (SUP) begins on flat water, where you can get your balance on the oversized boards. Stand-up boards are larger and more stable than surfing longboards, which makes them more stable. The boards are ridden standing up, so some initial balance is required. The rider uses a long shafted paddle for propulsion and steering. There are different strokes you learn to help you turn, and to make you go. (Steering is more about paddle-work in the beginning). Once you have your balance, this is a very pleasant way to tour the ocean, and to explore the reefs. If you are feeling more adventurous, you can try to catch some small waves. Maui has some gentle surf that is easy to ride. Most people will be fully satisfied (and exhausted) after their surf session. We supply all the beginner equipment, and a variety of sizes to accommodate different people sizes. Bigger folks will need more floatation. Advanced surfers can rent from a selection of differing board sizes and types.

 

Beginner Stand-up surfing Lessons are held at Kalama park in Kihei. just south of the whale statue.
