How To Find The Right Paddle Board Maui For You

By Virginia Stevens


Exploring the oceans around the Hawaiian islands can be fun and exciting. If you choose to use a paddle board Maui to do your exploring it is important to pick the model that is right for your needs. There are so many things to consider from your experience level to what you plan to do while paddling. Here are a few things to consider when picking out which model you will buy.

Being on a board is extremely relaxing and can take away much of the stress that daily life brings. Imagine feeling the waves rocking beneath your feet while you paddle your SUP through the waves. If you have ever paddled a canoe, chances are most of the basic skills will be familiar to you.

It's a good idea to think about what you want to do while paddling. Do you like the idea of racing or do you like the idea of exploring longer distances? This will influence what model you buy. There are versions that are made with racing in mind. These tend to be sleek and streamlined so they are faster in the water. Touring models are usually designed to hold more gear and may be more stable.

If you love yoga, you may want to try it while afloat. SUP yoga is becoming very popular for a reason. People love the extra dimension it gives their practice. You may want to start by taking a class for beginners while you learn how to deal with the water and how to modify poses properly. Look for a board that is wide enough and long enough to handle various poses and which is stable enough to keep from tipping over all of the time.

You may want to think about how you will store your gear and how you will get it to the water. A SUP can be quite large and heavy. If you lack space or find it hard to carry heavy weights you might want to think about an inflatable model. This can be carried to where you will set off from and inflated, then deflated and taken home to be stored until next time.

While the bulk of your budget will go to pay for the SUP itself, there are other things you will need too. For example, you need a paddle in order to move your SUP through the water. Try out different models to see what you like best. Also look at buying a tether to keep your board attached to your ankle and a life jacket to keep you safe if you do fall off.

Paddling lessons are something that many novices don't think about but really should. They can help you perfect different strokes so that you can move through the water more easily and this can mean you have more stamina for longer trips. You can also get safety tips, get certified as an instructor or find a group with whom you can explore the waters around Maui.

Renting can be a great option as well, at least until you know how much you enjoy the sport. Look for places which have different versions that you can try so you know which you prefer. You may also want to make sure that they also offer safety equipment if you aren't quite ready to buy your own gear.
