The Oahu Nui is Pau Hana’s largest inflatable paddleboard, designed for families, groups, and paddlers who want to share the experience. At 15 feet long with a wide, open deck, it provides the space and stability needed for multiple riders - kids, dogs, coolers, or a mix of everything.
Built with drop-stitch inflatable construction, the Oahu Nui inflates into a firm, confidence-inspiring platform that feels steady even as weight shifts on deck. It’s ideal for group paddling, teaching new paddlers, yoga sessions, and relaxed cruising on calm water. When the day is done, it deflates and packs down easily - making storage and transport far simpler than a rigid board of this size.

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.
The Oahu Nui uses drop-stitch inflatable construction to create a rigid, stable platform capable of supporting multiple paddlers. Thousands of internal fibers connect the top and bottom layers, helping the board hold its shape under load while remaining lightweight and portable when deflated.
This construction makes it possible to enjoy a full-size, group-friendly paddleboard without the storage and transport challenges of a hard board.
Performance Metrics
The Oahu Nui is designed around stability and shared use, not speed. It feels calm, planted, and predictable even with multiple paddlers onboard.
Exceptionally stable and confidence-inspiring. The long waterline helps the board glide smoothly even when fully loaded.
Best suited for slow-moving or mellow waterways. Designed for stability rather than technical maneuvering.
Comfortable in protected coastal areas with light chop, and surprisingly fun for party surfing and playful wave riding. It’s not a performance surf board - but for sharing waves, laughing a lot, and staying upright together, it delivers.
Tracks steadily under load. Turns deliberately rather than quickly, prioritizing balance and control.
MADE TO SHARE
Plenty of space for kids, friends, dogs, or gear.
EASY TO TRANSPORT
Inflatable construction makes a 15’ board practical to own.
GREAT FOR GROUP ACTIVITIES
Perfect for teaching, yoga, and relaxed family sessions.
The Oahu Nui’s drop-stitch construction delivers a firm, supportive platform while remaining easy to deflate and store. It’s designed for repeated setup and group use without sacrificing stability.
DESIGNED FOR TOGETHER TIME
The Oahu Nui was designed to make paddleboarding something you can share. By pairing a large, stable shape with inflatable construction, it gives families and groups a way to enjoy the water together - without the logistics of a massive hard board.
“The Oahu Nui is about creating space - space for people, movement, and shared experiences on the water.”
— Todd Caranto, Pau Hana Founder

The Oahu Nui is a giant inflatable stand-up paddleboard built for groups, families, camps, resorts, rentals, and team activities. It’s designed to be paddled, played on, and shared by multiple riders at once.
The Oahu Nui is designed to carry multiple riders simultaneously, depending on size, weight, and conditions. It’s commonly used for group paddling, kids’ programs, and team-building activities where stability and fun matter most. The maximum weight recommended on the Oahu Nui is 2000lbs.
Yes. Stability is the entire point. The wide, high-volume design creates a floating platform that feels calm and predictable, even with several people moving around.
Yes, when used with proper supervision and safety practices. Its size and stability make it a popular choice for kids’ camps, lessons, and family use, where balance and confidence are key.
It’s not designed for speed or distance. The Oahu Nui is meant for short paddles, group movement, and play, where coordination and fun matter more than efficiency.
The Oahu Nui uses high-pressure inflatable construction and typically requires a high-volume pump or electric pump for faster setup. Once inflated, it’s rigid and ready for use.
Basic care goes a long way: rinse after saltwater use, dry before storage, and avoid prolonged sun exposure when inflated. Proper care extends the life of the board, especially in commercial use.
