At Pau Hana Surf Supply, quality and sustainability is integral to our mission. We design our paddleboards for durability, ensuring they withstand the test of time and reduce environmental impact.
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.
Built around a lightweight EPS core and sealed with epoxy resin, this construction keeps the board strong without adding unnecessary weight. Strategic bamboo reinforcement is added in high-load areas to increase stiffness and durability where it matters most, while our high-density Corebrace™ system supports all installed components for long-term reliability.
A self-regulating Goretex vent plug helps manage internal pressure as temperatures and conditions change, keeping the board performing consistently whether you’re paddling cool mornings or warm afternoons.

BUILT FOR EVERYDAY USE
Designed for regular sessions, shared use, and years of paddling.
Built using Pau Hana’s Bamboo Sandwich construction, the Oahu blends natural strength with everyday durability. A real bamboo veneer is layered into the board’s structure, adding stiffness, impact resistance, and a smooth, responsive feel on the water.
This construction helps the board hold its shape under pressure while keeping the ride lively and predictable. It’s tough enough for regular launches, beach landings, and day-to-day paddling, without feeling overbuilt or heavy. It’s made to be used - not babied - so you can focus on the water, not the board.
Designed by Todd Caranto, a pioneer in paddleboard innovation, the Big EZ Hawaiian embodies Pau Hana’s dedication to stability, performance, and effortless fun on the water. As the first designer to win Outside Magazine’s ‘Gear of the Year’ award for Stand Up Paddle Boards, Todd has been shaping the sport since 2007, crafting boards that invite everyone - from beginners to seasoned paddlers - to experience the joy of SUP.
"The Big EZ Hawaiian was created to be the ultimate all-around board - stable, smooth, and easy to paddle anywhere. Whether you’re exploring crystal-clear lakes, riding mellow surf, or flowing through a yoga session at sunrise, this board delivers confidence and fun every time you step on." - Todd Caranto, Pau Hana Founder
