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

The Big EZ Angler paddleboard offers exceptional stability for fishing. At 36 inches wide, it's specifically designed to provide maximum stability, which is crucial when standing to cast, fighting fish, or when loaded with gear.
The board features a planing hull design that handles side-to-side movement with ease, making it ideal for maintaining balance during active fishing. With its high volume (260L) and substantial weight capacity (366 lbs), the Angler can comfortably accommodate both the fisherman and all necessary fishing equipment without compromising performance.
The board's design effectively balances stability with functional maneuverability, creating what's described as "an incredibly steady base that instills confidence when casting, fighting fish, or navigating challenging conditions." The SeaMount® System with threaded anchor points also allows for customized accessory placement, enabling anglers to organize gear strategically for optimal weight distribution and ease of access when fighting fish.

This board is an exceptional fit for larger individuals seeking comfort and confidence on the water - often referred to as a "Big Guy" board or what kayakers might call a board for a "Stout" person. Its generous dimensions and substantial capacity make it one of the few premium SUPs specifically designed to accommodate and perform well for paddlers of size, whether they're surfing, recreational paddling, or just enjoying a day on the water. Unlike standard boards that might feel unstable or sink too low for larger individuals, the Big EZ Angler provides the float and stability needed for a comfortable, enjoyable experience regardless of paddler size.

The Big EZ Angler SUP is designed to handle a variety of water environments with exceptional stability. Let me break down its performance in different conditions:
Lakes & Calm Waters The Big EZ Angler excels in lake environments, offering superior stability for fishing. Its 36-inch width creates an extremely stable platform that's perfect for casting and maintaining balance while focusing on fishing rather than staying upright.
Coastal Waters & Chop The board performs well in coastal environments with wind and chop. The board's buoyant design makes paddling through these conditions effortless. Its substantial volume (260L) and high weight capacity (366 lbs) contribute to its stability in varied conditions.
Shallow Flats & Mangroves The Big EZ Angler is perfect for flats and mangrove fishing as it can get into super skinny water, especially if you swap out the 9" fin it comes with and get a 4" flex fin. This modification allows you to navigate extremely shallow areas without bottoming out, making it ideal for stalking fish in flats or weaving through tight mangrove passages.
Performance in Wind & Challenging Conditions The board maintains exceptional stability even in challenging conditions. The board's wide profile (36") helps it remain steady in windy conditions, though this width does create some additional resistance when paddling directly into strong winds.
Tracking & Maneuverability The Big EZ Angler comes with a single 9" fin, which helps with tracking while maintaining maneuverability - a balance that's particularly useful when fishing in varied conditions. When equipped with a shorter 4" flex fin, you gain even more maneuverability in tight spaces and extremely shallow water, though with some reduction in straight-line tracking.
The Big EZ Angler's 36" width, 260L volume, and Ricochet™ technology construction make it particularly suited for anglers who need a stable platform in diverse and sometimes challenging water conditions, from open lakes to tight mangrove tunnels and skinny water flats.

The Big EZ Angler SUP is remarkably versatile and extends well beyond its primary fishing purpose. Here's how it performs in other activities:
Recreational Paddling
The Big EZ Angler offers exceptional versatility for everyday paddling adventures with its stable, confidence-inspiring platform. Its extra-wide 36" platform provides beginners and recreational paddlers with confidence on the water, making it perfect for casual cruising on lakes, rivers, or calm coastal waters. The board is especially well-suited for larger paddlers, offering exceptional stability and generous capacity (366 lbs) that accommodates bigger individuals comfortably without compromising performance.
Surfing
The Big EZ Angler performs surprisingly well in surf. While it comes with a single 9" fin, side bites are available as an optional purchase, allowing you to create a thruster setup for surfing if desired. Its wide tail and substantial volume provide excellent stability when catching waves, making it particularly suitable for larger paddlers looking to enjoy surf sessions or those transitioning to SUP surfing.
Touring
While primarily designed for fishing, the board's 11'0" length and ample volume (260L) make it suitable for shorter touring trips. The board's capacity to hold gear (up to 366 lbs) means you can pack supplies for day trips. However, for dedicated long-distance touring, there are more efficiency-focused boards in the Pau Hana lineup.
Yoga
The exceptionally stable platform makes it an excellent board for SUP yoga. The wide deck provides ample space for various poses, and the extra soft EVA deck pad offers comfort during longer yoga sessions.
All-Around Usage
The Big EZ Angler is categorized as an all-around paddleboard in the versatility category. It's recommended for various paddling styles including:
- Weekend Warriors
- Casual Cruisers
- With a dog
- With a kid
- Recreational Paddling
The board's Ricochet™ technology construction ensures durability across these varied uses, making it a truly multi-purpose investment rather than a single-activity specialized board.
While the Big EZ Angler might not be as fast or efficient as boards designed specifically for racing or dedicated touring, its versatility makes it an excellent choice for paddlers who want a stable board that can handle multiple activities well, especially if fishing is a primary but not exclusive interest.

The Big EZ Angler features Pau Hana's premium Ricochet® Technology construction, which sets it apart from many other boards in our lineup. Here's how its construction quality and durability compare:
Ricochet® Technology vs. Other Pau Hana Constructions The Big EZ Angler uses Ricochet® Technology, which is Pau Hana's advanced impact-resistant construction specifically engineered to protect boards from rocks, paddles, and hard impacts. This technology features a specially formulated membrane seamlessly integrated into the fiberglass construction, resulting in a lightweight yet extremely durable board.
Importantly, Ricochet® is a component added to enhance impact resistance in our premium Epoxy (EPX) constructions, specifically in areas likely to encounter impacts. It was designed to maintain the exceptional quality of the EPX construction while adding more durability without sacrificing the aesthetics of a high-end performance board.
In comparison to other Pau Hana boards:
- Big EZ Hawaiian: Uses Bamboo Sandwich construction, which offers good durability but doesn't have the same impact resistance as Ricochet® Technology.
- Endurance XL: Also features Ricochet® Technology, placing it at the same premium durability tier as the Angler.
- Other models: Many of Pau Hana's other boards use standard EPS core with fiberglass construction, VFT (Vacuum Formed Technology) with its durable thermo plastic shell, or Ultra Light Dropstitch for our inflatable options.
Durability Features The Angler's construction is extremely "bombproof", highlighting its ability to withstand the toughest conditions. This is particularly important for a fishing SUP that may encounter:
- Rocky shorelines during launch and landing
- Impacts from fishing gear
- Collisions with underwater obstacles in shallow waters
- Exposure to varied environmental conditions
Sustainability and Quality Pau Hana's construction quality is independently verified through REI's Product Impact Standards. According to the documentation, their boards score in the 85-90th percentile in these assessments, demonstrating their commitment to both quality and sustainability.
Performance Longevity The Ricochet® Technology not only provides superior durability but also helps maintain the board's performance characteristics over time. This means the Angler will likely retain its stability, maneuverability, and overall feel longer than boards with less durable construction methods.
In summary, the Big EZ Angler features one of Pau Hana's most premium and durable constructions, specifically designed to withstand the rigors of fishing environments while maintaining performance. Its Ricochet® Technology places it among the most durable options in Pau Hana's lineup, with only select models like the Endurance XL sharing this high-end construction approach.

The Pau Hana Big EZ Angler combines unmatched stability, versatility, innovative design and premium construction, making it an investment that pays dividends with every fishing adventure.
This board delivers unparalleled confidence when fishing - you won't worry about falling every time you cast. Its rock-solid stability lets you focus on catching fish, not keeping your balance.
It features an abundance of SeaMount attachment points, allowing endless configuration options for accessories, with the ability to secure any gear using hardware - a game-changer for serious anglers.
The Big EZ Angler offers remarkable versatility - easily strip it down for casual paddling or surfing when you're not fishing. As the first purpose-built board designed specifically for fishing in surf conditions, its design was directly influenced by a surfer who has legitimately caught fish while riding waves (with video evidence to prove it).
Constructed with premium materials including advanced fiberglass composites, bamboo reinforcement, and Ricochet® technology for impact resistance, the board features beautiful teak wood inlays for a distinctive, classic appearance that stands out on the water.
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, you're talking to someone who was probably out fishing from their board this morning or just returned from a fishing expedition.
Our team includes professional anglers, whitewater kayakers, and outdoor guides who truly understand the specific needs of fishing from a SUP. We're the real deal – outdoor enthusiasts who happen to make paddleboards, not business people who decided to sell them.
Our verified quality speaks for itself - REI's independent assessment ranked us in the top 10% of outdoor brands, with performance metrics 41.9% above industry average.

Yes, financing options are available for purchasing the Big EZ Angler paddleboard. You can access these financing plans directly through our website during checkout. The documentation shows options starting from $144.32/month, allowing you to spread the cost over time while enjoying your new board right away.
If you prefer to purchase from a local dealer instead of our website, many of our retail partners may offer their own financing programs as well. We recommend contacting your nearest Pau Hana dealer to inquire about their specific financing options if you'd prefer to purchase locally, as financing availability varies by dealer.
This flexibility in payment options makes it easier to get on the water with your Big EZ Angler without having to pay the full amount upfront.
