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.

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.

Yes. The wide deck and high volume make it extremely stable and confidence-inspiring, making it a great choice for first-time paddlers, kids, and larger riders.
-
The Big EZ VFT performs best on lakes, bays, calm coastal water, and gentle surf. It’s designed for easygoing, all-around paddling rather than speed or technical conditions.
