Stand Up Paddle boarding is an old Hawaiian form of surfing that has reemerged as one of the fastest growing water sports in the world. Unlike surfing, SUPing is very easy to learn. Within an hour you can become very comfortable in the water and on your board.

The 2-hour rental is our most popular option. The Wailua River is a perfect spot for beginners learning the basic fundamentals of Stand Up Paddling, while taking in the most scenic views on Kauai. Advanced paddlers may choose to rent high performance boards on a daily or weekly basis and enjoy SUPing at other locations available on Kauai.
