    9'8" Titan at Pua'ena Point
    Scott D.

    Can't say enough good things about these guys! We recently rented 2 SUP surfboards (Titan and Piranha) from Wayne and they were fantastic! Setting up our rental beforehand was easy. Wayne sent me tons of info about the boards as well as recommendations for breaks to hit while we were on island. Once we showed up he helped get fin setup dialed in and gave us extra sets to try different setups. Boards surfed fun and great in small swell but felt like they would really rip on bigger waves. Returning the boards was only a little challenging due to our return flight and the shop schedule, but we managed to work it all out. Overall I highly recommend Hoe He'e Nalu to anyone looking to rent excellent SUP surf gear on O'ahu!!

    Horrible boards. First board I got cracked with just over a year use. Probably cracked from tying on my truck tack. Wayne tried to repair it, but it was unrepairable. Wayne offered me a second board for $400 after I paid $150 for the repair. He told he he would get me a bag for it when one was available, been waiting over a year for it. I took it and it broke in less than a year. My wife wiped out and hit against her knee and it cracked. These boards are mass produced in China and I should've learned the first time. If you want a $900 board for really light use to paddle at a lake, please do buy these boards. Btw...if you end up damaging you board from here, don't take it back to Wayne to repair. Save your money and time and take it to Kimo's. Quick turn around and solid repair work.

    Been wanting a paddleboard for a long time, and a friend recommended another place that was having a 50% off sale, which I later found out wasn't worth it. That's how I found Hoe Nalu. Their showroom doesn't really have a storefront, and is actually a small space in a warehouse, but don't judge a book by its cover. I found out about their promos through their website, which were way better than the "sale" going on at the other place. Wayne, who is co-owner, is a very knowledgable, patient guy who is willing to answer any questions, and from what I took, is just someone who wants to make a quality product everyone can enjoy, while still making it affordable. He gave great recommendations for boards based on my boyfriend and I's weights so we both could use it. My boyfriend also surfs so he took that into consideration as well. But what makes this purchase so worthwhile, apart from great customer service, is the add-ons once you buy one of his boards. They have an awesome package deal where if you buy a board, you also get a carbon fiber, adjustable length paddle, board cover, fins, grips, and a leash. And also a free paddle cover if you let Wayne take a picture of you with the board, lol. I forget the details on pricing if you want the rubber blade paddle or the carbon fiber one, but I'm sure Wayne will be happy to explain. They will also put a clear, protective coat on your board and put the grips on before you take it home. Wayne also taught me how to take the fins on and off and how to adjust them. Overall buying a board from Hoe Nalu was a great experience. They have definitely earned my patronage.

    Aloha to Braddah Wayne. Got my second SUP 10'4 out the box tried it Ala Moana "no waves 1/19/19" so I just flat watered it around the buoys and tested the glide I was so impressed. Prior before buying my second board, Wayne let me demo an 8'2 performance SUP which was challenging for me. Next year I'll be looking forward in buying a smaller fatter SUP from Hoe He'e Nalu Paddle & Surf Company AGAIN. If you're looking to get into SUP paddling like I did, I highly recommend checking out Wayne before going somewhere else. Expertise, quality and most of the price. Mahalo Wayne for your friendship.

    This post is long overdue. I've had my board for about more than 2 weeks now and I've been using it almost everyday. I got to say I'm in love with my 9'4 Titan!!! First week, not so much waves on South Shore but I was still able to catch 1-2 ft swell and board turns on a dime. Past couple days, was out at Courts with chest to shoulder high waves. Oh man... this board rippppsss!! And I love the color (red and black). I got so many compliments already not just the looks but how it performs too! Anyway, this board is perfect size for me (im 6'0 215lbs). Its supppper stable even on choppy water. And I even took off late and caught a nice one. Overall, this board is very stable, floats really well, fast, and ripppsss. Oh and... it looks so good. Thank you to bradda Wayne for helping me choose the perfect board for me. Mahaloz Wayne!! Check out Hoe He'e Nalu! They have best boards on the island!!!

    This is only for the SUP rental. Location is prime if you're staying in Waikiki. Lots to do here…read more Prices are high as expected. Service is OK - just enough to get the job done. They won't take the SUP to the shore or bring it back if you're a off coming back. I love SUP but I'm little and I have a shoulder/neck/back injury so it is difficult for me to carry and I always have to ask someone to do it. I wish it wasn't such a chore for them especially since we tend to tip well (at least 20% even if its bad like this). No matter what time of year it is usually pretty crowded and hard to navigate around ppl. But if you can get out there, it is super fun and the waves are usually gentle. While staying at Moana or Royal Hawaiian we saw a monk seal in the waves swimming through the surfers. Other than that not too much sea life sadly.

    What an ADVENTURE!!!! And authentic outrigger canoe ride with us paddling!…read more We left right from the beach in front of our hotel, the Outrigger Waikiki Beach Resort, and the Royal Hawaiian. We got to relax for awhile under a Beach umbrella and then it was time to help push the canoe into the water and hop on in and start paddling! We had three crew members with us - it was a BLAST!! The fun and views of surfing, without having to get in the water (though we did get a little wet) and no worries about balance. The outrigger canoe has the "ama" (the stabilizing float part) which made it smooth and easy...except for the paddling. Very safe (and that's coming from a former Risk Manager). I have no upper arm strength and we had to paddle hard at times and had we done it any longer than our 30-40min, I would definitely have had a blister. It was a beautiful morning (so thankful there was no rain), ocean was calm, and riding in the three waves was exceptional and something I am so glad they captured on video for us so we can truly remember the feeling always!! This is a MUST DO next time you are in Hawaii!

    I rented beach chairs, a beach umbrella, a beach mat, and beach towels from Aloha Keiki Rentals,…read moreand the entire experience was wonderful. Booking online was quick and easy. Since I rented a car, I selected the pickup option when making my reservation. There was a slight miscommunication, but Briana was incredibly kind and went out of her way to deliver the items directly to my hotel. She was very responsive, easy to communicate with, and provided excellent customer service. All of the beach equipment was clean, well-maintained, and in great condition. It was so convenient because there's no way I could have packed these bulky items on my flight to Hawaii. Being able to rent everything we needed made our beach days so much more enjoyable. We'll definitely be back in Honolulu in the future, and I won't hesitate to rent from Aloha Keiki Rentals again. I highly recommend them to anyone visiting Hawaii who wants quality beach gear and outstanding service!

    Great communication and the variety of items offered! Everything was clean and arrived on time!…read moreWill definitely use again and recommend to all! We rented a beach tent, stroller, and beach toys. Everything was in awesome condition and saved us from trying to bring it on our flight or purchase once we got here.

    We love snorkeling and were planning a trip to Oahu this month. We knew snorkeling on the North…read moreShore was out due to the high surf, so that left Hanauma Bay as our best opportunity. We know the state now has a lottery that requires you to sign up 2 days in advance, and the tickets go quickly. We did not want to risk not getting to go, so we booked an excursion, as they are given spaces for their guests.I checked the reviews and choices and booked with Hanauma Bay Snorkel Adventures several weeks before our trip. We know that mornings are best for water clarity and calmer surf - and we've found the fish tend to be more abundant in the AM, so we booked the morning slot. We received emails and were told the van would pick us up at our Waikiki hotel at 5:40 a.m. We were waiting a few minutes, and then the van came to our hotel. We climbed in, and with 2 other couples and the driver, we were off in the dark. First stop was their dive shop - on the way, on the other side of Diamond Head. Snorkel gear was distributed (we brought our own), and then we climbed into the van and drove a short distance to the Hanauma Bay entrance. We gathered as a small group and went into the park together (you'll bring $25 cash each person for the Hanauma Bay ticket - not included in the excursion payment). There is a mandatory short movie (around 15 minutes) that is primarily a primer to keep the reef and marine life safe. We took the free tram down to the bay (you can also walk - a bit of a steep hill). They have bathrooms with changing stalls at the beach. We were on the beach as the sun's first rays shone across the bay - it was a beautiful morning. We got in 3 separate snorkel sessions going out into zone 2 (through the buoys and past the first reef) where it's deeper, and we saw greater numbers of fish. If this is your first time snorkeling or you are less experienced, I would caution you to check with the lifeguards on the beach before doing this.About 3 hours later, it was time to pack up, and we took the tram to the top, where we waited a few minutes with the group we traveled with in the morning. Our van showed up and drove us straight back to our hotel. We very much enjoyed the day, but honestly would have preferred to be on our own so we could choose when we wanted to leave. But for many who visit Oahu and stay in Waikiki, this is a good way to snorkel at Hanauma Bay. NOTE: I do see a number of reviews that speak of rude staff and substandard transportation. Fortunately for us, we did not experience any of that on our trip.
