Things to do in Lahaina, Hawaii (HI): The Best Stand-Up Paddleboarding

October 6, 2021 Russell Mellin

Lahaina, the former Hawaiian capital, was the center of the global whaling trade, and its Historic District is a National Historic Landmark. Traditional Hawaiian luaus, surf lessons and tours on horseback are fun, but let’s be realistic—you wouldn’t be in Hawaii if you didn’t want to go to the beach. Try Ka’anapali Beach, one of Maui’s best.

LahAina Surf Shack

We are a small locally owned surf school who take pride in teaching lessons with aloha. Our goal is not to teach you how to ride one wave, but to teach you the ancient art of surfing and all that comes along with it. In our lessons we will teach you the ways of the water as we respect it and cherish the land and sea. We guarantee you knowledgeable instructors who are CPR Certified. We will keep you safe while teaching you how to have as much fun as we do in our ocean that we are fortunate to call our back yard.
