The North Shore 

Enjoy the beauty of the North Shore year round! For stand up paddlers in the summer months (May - October), the North Shore is a glassy lake with a mosaic of beauty beneath the surface of the water. The water is smooth and glassy...perfect for stand up paddling. After your lesson, go for a swim in the ocean or drive down the coast stopping at the endless beaches to bask in the sun with the sea turtles on the beach. In the winter (November-April), the North Shore comes alive with the world famous waves that have made it the surf capital of the world. Even though there are waves on the ocean, your lesson will take place in smooth and calm waters of one of Oahu's historic streams. After you lesson, travel the coast to catch some of the world's best surfers in action, or take a breathtaking hike nearby that overlooks the entire North Shore. Calm water lessons are year round on the North Shore. Check out our photo gallery.

The Windward (East) Side 

The Windward side of the island is the most green and luscious side of the island of Oahu. Your stand up paddle lesson will take place against a backdrop of the rich and green Koolau Mountains. This awe-inspiring side of the island is absolutely beautiful year round. You can get to the Windward Side from Honolulu by driving up around the Southeast side of the island, passing Hanauma Bay, Sandy Beach, and countless scenic lookouts. You can also get to the Windward Side by driving up through the center of the island to the North Shore where you will travel along the 7-Mile-Miracle where there are more waves for surfing than any other place in the world. After your lesson on the Winward side, have a picnic on the beach or discover the inward parts of Oahu on one of the many hikes nearby. At the right time of year, the mountains are full of wild guava and mountain apples. Lessons on the Windward Side of the island are far from the business of the city in a perfectly peaceful location. Calm water lessons are year round on the Windward Side. Check out our photo gallery.
