My wife and I signed up for an introductory paddle board lesson. It was a first time for us. I’m 66 and my wife is 59. Megan gave us an intro to the terminology of the equipment and demonstrated techniques with us while on the beach. She demonstrated how to mount the board and showed several seated positions, then demonstrated how to rise to a standing position. After practicing, she led us under the Rainbow Bridge up the local river past the taro fields of Haleiwa for a scenic tour. Her partner took photos of us from the bridge. We were Airdropped photos from both the bridge and on the water before we left. All in all, it was a fun experience!

It was fun and thrilling. I don't know how to swim, but my instructor Megan made me feel at ease. I was blessed to see turtles too. Great experience.

What a great time. We had a wonderful a private 8am tour for two adult paddlers with Kate. Her instructions were top notch and we were quickly off and paddling. We saw many turtles and fish! Kate was a fantastic guide and gave us great recommendations on places to stop for lunch near by. Highly recommend.

This experience is what Hawaii is all about. All you have to do is show up and have fun. The guide was fun and energetic but respected everyone’s own pace.

As a first time paddler in my sixties I was a bit apprehensive, but no need to be. The lesson was clear and on point The tips made it easy to feel at ease on the board and the trip up the river was great. Will do again!
