After your session, give the board a quick rinse with fresh water and let it dry before storing - especially if you’ve been in saltwater.
Store your board in a cool, shaded place, out of direct sunlight. If possible, keep it flat or on its side using proper board racks.
A little care goes a long way - treat it well and your board will stay solid, smooth, and ready for the next paddle.

VFT construction encases the EPS core in a vacuum-formed outer shell, creating a board that’s impact-resistant and consistent in shape. This technology is ideal for boards that see frequent use, shared environments, and less-than-gentle handling.
A self-regulating Goretex vent plug helps manage internal pressure as temperatures change, helping maintain consistent performance.

Robust Construction
The Malibu Classic is built using Pau Hana’s Vacuum Formed Technology, where the EPS foam core is fully encased to create a lightweight yet durable structure. Kevlar-reinforced rails add impact resistance where boards take the most abuse, while a self-regulating Gore-Tex® vent plug helps maintain consistent core pressure in changing conditions.
This construction is designed for real-world paddling - not just showroom looks.
- A tougher board for frequent paddling
- Less worry about bumps and scrapes
- Consistent performance over time
Crafted in California
The Malibu Classic was designed to make paddleboarding approachable. Stable, simple, and durable, it’s a board meant to get more people on the water with less effort and less worry.
It’s the kind of board you grab for a quick paddle, lend to a friend, or keep around for easy days on the lake.
“The Malibu Classic is about accessibility. It’s stable, durable, and easy to enjoy - so paddlers can focus on the experience, not the gear.”
— Todd Caranto, Pau Hana Founder
