KEY FEATURES
Seamount® System
The SeaMount® System enhances versatility by providing flush-mounted attachment points for various accessories. This allows users to securely add items like D-rings, bungee cords, rod holders, cup holders, and more without compromising the board's aesthetics or performance. This modular setup allows you to transform your paddleboard for activities like touring, fishing, or casual paddling.
INNOVATION
Foil Mount Integration

UNLIMITED VERSATILITY
Versatile Fin Setup
The Oahu features a 5-fin box system, allowing paddlers to customize their setup for different water conditions. A single center fin offers enhanced stability and tracking, ideal for flatwater paddling or beginners. For increased speed and maneuverability on waves, a quad-fin configuration - using four side fins without the center fin - provides a looser, faster feel, enabling sharper turns. This adaptable fin setup lets paddlers tailor the board's performance to their specific needs.
LIGHTWEIGHT CONSTRUCTION
Crafted with precision, this board features a vacuum-compressed EPS core infused with epoxy resin for a lightweight yet durable structure. Bamboo reinforcements in load-bearing areas add extra strength and resilience, while high-density Corebrace™ supports all installed components for enhanced durability. A self-regulating Goretex vent plug maintains stable core pressure, ensuring optimal performance in varying conditions.
- Woody: Luxurious Cherry Burl veneer.

CRAFTED IN CALIFORNIA
The Oahu was designed by Todd Caranto, a visionary in the paddleboarding world and the first designer to win Outside Magazine’s ‘Gear of the Year’ award for Stand Up Paddle Boards. Since 2007, Todd has been redefining the sport, creating boards that combine stability, versatility, and timeless style. The Oahu stands as a reflection of Pau Hana’s commitment to quality, artistry, and pushing the boundaries of paddleboard design.
"When I started designing the Oahu, my goal was simple: create a board that’s stable and fun to ride in any condition. Whether it’s gliding across Tenaya Lake in Yosemite at sunrise, catching waves in Waikiki, or paddling in Belize, this board thrives. It’s a design built to inspire stoke and help you connect with nature wherever you are."

EXPERT REVIEWS
During a trip to Hawaii's North Shore, I had the opportunity to use Pau Hana's 10'0" Oahu Paddle Board for both paddling and foiling at Turtle Bay. The board's versatility truly impressed me. On calm waters, its stability and smooth glide made for a relaxing paddle among the sea turtles. When I transitioned to foiling, the integrated mount made setup easy. We used the Bimini with the outboard motor to generate speed, allowing me to get accustomed to being airborne with the foil. The experience boosted my confidence to try foiling on smaller waves in the area.

Proper care and maintenance are essential to prolonging the life and performance of your Pau Hana paddleboard. After each use, rinse your board with fresh water to remove salt, sand, and debris. Store it in a cool, shaded area away from direct sunlight to prevent UV damage and delamination. Regularly inspect the vent plug to ensure it's functioning correctly, as it helps regulate internal pressure and prevent delamination. For inflatable boards, avoid overinflation and ensure they're completely dry before deflating and storing to prevent mold growth. By following these guidelines, you can ensure your paddleboard remains in optimal condition for years to come. READ MORE ➜
Frequently Asked Questions

Let me give you the inside perspective: We're not a corporate brand that decided to jump into paddleboarding – we're paddlers who built a company around our passion. When you call us for advice, you'll be talking to someone who was probably out surfing this morning, planning a fly fishing trip this weekend, or just got back from a multi-day touring expedition. Our team includes professional whitewater kayakers, long-distance paddlers, surf instructors, and outdoor guides. We're the real deal – outdoor enthusiasts who happen to make paddleboards, not business people who decided to sell them.
That authentic expertise shows up in every board we make. When we designed the Oahu, it wasn't just about looking at market trends – it was about creating something we wanted to paddle ourselves. We tested it in real conditions: dawn patrol surf sessions, family beach days, backcountry lake expeditions, and sunset yoga practices. And this commitment to authentic outdoor experience has earned us recognition – REI's independent assessment ranked us in the top 10% of outdoor brands, with performance metrics 41.9% above industry average.
But here's what really sets us apart: When you need support or have questions, you're not getting a scripted response from a call center. You're talking to someone who knows exactly what it's like to plan a SUP camping trip, who understands the challenges of teaching kids to paddle, or who can give you specific advice about your local paddling spots. We're out there doing the same things you want to do with your board.
This isn't just business for us – it's our way of life. We make boards we believe in because we use them ourselves, and we stand behind them with the kind of support that can only come from genuine experience and passion for paddling. So when you invest in a Pau Hana board, you're not just getting premium quality gear (though our REI validation confirms that) – you're getting the backing of a real community of paddlers who want to help you make the most of your time on the water.

We designed the Oahu with a clear intention: to create a board that adapts to your journey as a paddler. When you're first starting out, it's incredibly stable and forgiving – perfect for building confidence. But unlike typical beginner boards that you'll outgrow, the Oahu is engineered to reveal new capabilities as your skills progress. Want to try SUP surfing? The 5-fin setup lets you dial in the perfect configuration. Interested in yoga? The wide, stable platform and extra-soft EVA deck pad give you a confident foundation for practicing poses. Ready to explore longer distances? The balanced hull design helps you maintain an efficient stroke.
This versatility comes from real-world experience. Our team has spent countless hours testing different board designs across every type of paddling – from dawn patrol surf sessions to family beach days, from river touring to fitness paddling. We're paddlers ourselves, so we know firsthand how frustrating it is to buy a board and then realize it can't keep up with your growing skills or adapt to different conditions.
The technical specs showcase our commitment to performance. The Oahu features:
- A precisely tuned 10'0" x 32" platform that balances stability with performance
- Our premium EPX (Epoxy) construction, representing the pinnacle of performance paddleboard manufacturing. This sophisticated composite construction creates an incredibly lightweight, rigid board that delivers superior response and glide through the water. Each board is meticulously handcrafted using high-grade materials and advanced lamination techniques, resulting in a refined performance craft that seasoned paddlers will appreciate.
- A versatile 5-fin setup that lets you adjust your board's performance for different conditions
- A comfort-focused EVA deck pad that enhances grip and reduces fatigue during long sessions
- Reinforced attachment points for gear, making it adventure-ready
While we offer other construction methods for specific needs - like our durable VFT for intensive use or inflatables for travel - the EPX Oahu represents our dedication to crafting the highest performance paddleboards possible. This premium construction method, combined with our design expertise, has been validated through REI's comprehensive assessment process, where we ranked in the top 10% of outdoor brands.
But what really sets the Oahu apart is that it's not just a product – it's supported by a team of genuine paddlers who use this board ourselves and can help you get the most out of it. Whether you need advice on fin setups for different conditions or tips for your first SUP yoga session, you're getting guidance from people who are out there doing it too.
This combination of thoughtful design, premium construction (independently verified by REI's assessment, where we ranked in the top 10% of outdoor brands), and authentic paddling expertise makes the Oahu more than just another paddleboard – it's a truly versatile platform that grows with you as a paddler.

The Oahu is something special in the paddling world - it's not just a board, it's a legacy piece. Think of it like a classic surfboard that gets passed down through generations, becoming more cherished with time. While it's perfectly capable as a beginner board, that's not really the whole story. The Oahu is crafted for individuals who want a board that will become a lifelong companion on their paddling journey.
What makes it unique is how it reveals its capabilities as your skills progress. When you first start, you'll appreciate its stability and forgiveness. But as your technique develops, you'll discover its true personality - from its responsive handling in small surf to its playful nature in flat water. Sure, you can take it for longer paddles if you want to cruise and enjoy the scenery, but that's not what it's built for. This board is designed for personal satisfaction - whether that's catching waves, practicing yoga, or just enjoying that perfect glassy morning session.
Built using our premium EPX construction, each Oahu is meticulously handcrafted as a piece of functional art. The sophisticated composite layup and refined finishing create a board that's not only beautiful to look at but delivers the kind of performance that makes you smile every time you hit the water. This isn't a disposable piece of gear - it's a classic surf SUP that, with proper care, will maintain both its performance and its beauty for decades.
If you're looking for a dedicated family board that might see heavy use from multiple beginners at once, we'd actually point you toward our Big EZ or Malibu Classic, which are specifically designed for that purpose. And if you're interested in distance paddling or touring, check out our Endurance or Navio models. The Oahu is more of a personal performance craft - the kind of board that becomes "dad's special board" or "mom's pride and joy" and eventually gets passed down as a cherished piece of family paddling history.
Like any fine craft, it rewards care and attention with years of joyful performance. We've seen decade-old Oahus that not only still perform beautifully but have developed the kind of character that only comes with years of dedicated use - they become vintage pieces that tell stories of countless adventures on the water.

Let's talk about what makes the EPX Oahu special in terms of construction. The EPX version isn't just about durability - it's about achieving the perfect balance of performance, weight, and refinement that makes this board sing in the conditions it was designed for. Think of it like a high-end surfboard - it's built to perform beautifully and look stunning while doing it.
The EPX construction uses sophisticated fiberglass composite materials combined with natural bamboo reinforcement through advanced lamination techniques. This blend of modern and natural materials creates something special - the bamboo doesn't just add stunning aesthetics, it integrates with the fiberglass to enhance the board's overall strength and performance characteristics. The result is a lightweight, responsive board that delivers exactly what you want in surf conditions or during balance-focused activities like yoga. While it's certainly well-built and will last for decades with proper care, its primary focus is on performance and aesthetic refinement rather than pure durability.
Each of our construction methods serves a specific purpose:
- EPX (like in this Oahu): Premium performance, refined feel, and classic beauty, enhanced with bamboo reinforcement
- VFT: Vacuum Formed Technology (Thermo Plastics) Maximum durability for challenging conditions
- Inflatable: Ultimate portability and durability for travel and transport
- Ricochet Technology (found in our Endurance and Angler models): Our most advanced composite construction for serious impact resistance. This technology increases breaking strength by 3X while adding minimal weight, making it perfect for fishing in rocky areas or touring in challenging conditions
If you're looking for a board that can handle more punishing environments, consider our models with Ricochet Technology, VFT construction, or Solo Tech Ultralight Inflatable Dropstich. The Oahu EPX is designed to be the board you take care of, not the one you bang around. It's for paddlers who appreciate the nuances of a well-crafted board and understand that treating it with respect will reward them with years of high-performance paddling and timeless style.
This quality is reflected in our REI assessment scores, where we received top marks for materials selection and manufacturing practices. But more importantly, it's proven by the many Oahu EPX's still performing beautifully after years of dedicated use by paddlers who understand and appreciate what this construction is all about.

Our commitment to environmental responsibility isn't just talk - it's independently verified through REI's rigorous Product Impact Standards, where we've earned a position in the top 10% of outdoor brands.

That's why we focus on building boards that last, using construction methods and materials that stand the test of time. Our Oahu EPX isn't just built to perform - it's built to become a lasting part of your paddling journey, not another piece of gear that ends up being replaced.
This commitment to quality and sustainability isn't just good for the environment - it's good for you as a paddler. When you choose a Pau Hana board, you're investing in a product that's been vetted through some of the industry's most stringent environmental and quality standards, backed by real data and independent verification from REI's comprehensive assessment process.
