Stand-Up Paddling
Unlike in South or West Maui, there aren't any stand-up paddleboard lessons offered along
the island's central coast. If you have your own board (or have rented one), the best bet
for flat-water paddling is Kanaha Beach Park on the inside of the reef. Since the reef is a
couple of hundred yards offshore, it forms a nice lagoon on the inside, and the water is of-
ten calm during the morning before the trade winds pick up. If you're a competent paddle
surfer and want to get into the waves, paddle through the channel off the lifeguard stand at
Lowers, where you will find waves perfectly suited for stand-up paddle surfing. These are
only for advanced paddlers who can handle themselves in large surf.
