Why lay down when you can stand up. Learn to stand up paddle, or 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.

If you are interested in exploring Kailua Bay by Stand-Up Paddle Board on your own, and want a complete package including lunch and beach gear, then the Self Guided Stand-Up Paddle Tour is for you! Participants under 18 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian.
