The 11’0 Big EZ Angler is Pau Hana’s go-to fishing paddle board - built to feel like a steady casting deck, not a balancing act. With a 36” wide platform, 260L of volume, and a 366 lb max rider weight, it’s made for serious gear loads, larger paddlers, and anyone who wants maximum confidence on the water. Add rod holders, tie-downs, and accessories with the SeaMount® system, stake out through the built-in through-holes, and fish longer with a soft deck pad that’s easy on your feet. It’s purpose-built for anglers, but it’s also a legit “big board” for families, dogs, and heavy-haul adventures.

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.
Made with Ricochet™ Impact Resistance Technology - a tough, resilient build designed to handle real-world use. From dock bumps and rocky launches to the everyday wear that comes with fishing and exploring, the board is built to take hits without losing its shape or performance.
It’s a construction you don’t have to baby. Just load up, push off, and focus on the water ahead.
Performance Metrics
The Big EZ Angler feels solid and steady from the first step on. It’s designed to stay calm under load, so you can focus on casting, moving around the deck, and enjoying the session - not managing your balance.
Effortless balance for long sessions, fishing, cruising, or relaxed paddling.
Wide, buoyant, and composed when wind and texture show up.
Swap out the stock fin to a 4” flex fin and access skinny water without bottoming out.
Tracks straight and holds its line well, even when loaded with gear. Turns are slower and deliberate, but predictable - exactly what you want in a fishing-focused platform built for stability over speed.
A true casting platform
Move, cast, and fight fish without feeling like you’re tightrope walking.
BUILT FOR BIGGER PADDLERS + BIGGER LOADS
Extra width + serious volume makes it one of the best paddle boards for big guys and gear-heavy missions.
Rig it your way
SeaMount® attachment points let you add rod holders, coolers, anchors, and electronics.
Built for abuse
Ricochet™ impact resistant technology stands up to docks, rocks, and loaded-down launches.
Ricochet™ Technology:
Ricochet™ is an advanced impact-resistant technology built into the board’s construction to help protect it from rocks, paddles, and hard impacts. The result is a sleek board that’s still tough enough to take a beating - perfect for anglers who don’t always launch from a sandy beach.
On a recent trip to the Texas Gulf Coast, I paddled Pau Hana’s 11'0" Big EZ Angler and immediately noticed how stable it felt on the water. The 36" wide platform made casting easy and confident, the open deck handled all my gear without feeling crowded, and the SeaMount® system made rigging accessories simple. Even in shallow water, the board stayed buoyant and easy to maneuver, turning the day into a comfortable, no-fuss, sucessful fishing session.
Texas Kayak Fisherman - Pro Fisherman
The Big EZ Angler was made for the paddlers who pack extra gear, chase the bite, and want a board that stays steady when the water (and the fish) get unpredictable. It’s the kind of board you set up once and keep reaching for - because it just works.
"We built the Big EZ Angler to be steady, adaptable, and purpose-driven - a board that feels just as comfortable on a quiet lake as it does along the coast, and one that lets anglers fish with confidence in real world conditions." - Todd Caranto, Pau Hana Founder

Stability is the whole point of the Big EZ Angler - and it shows the moment you step on it. At 36 inches wide, the board offers a seriously solid platform that stays stable when you’re casting, shifting your stance, or leaning into a catch. The planing hull handles side-to-side movement well, so the board feels predictable instead of twitchy, even when you’re active on deck.
With 260 liters of volume and a 366 lb weight capacity, the Angler has no problem carrying a paddler plus a full fishing setup and extra gear without feeling bogged down. Add in the SeaMount® system, and you can dial in your gear placement to keep weight balanced, gear secure and everything within reach. The end result is a board that lets you focus on fishing - not on staying upright.
Absolutely. The Big EZ Angler is one of the best options out there for larger paddlers or anyone who wants maximum comfort, and have confidence on the water. It’s often what people are really looking for when they ask about a “big guy” board - generous amounts of volume, real float, and stability that doesn’t disappear the moment you move around.
Unlike standard sized boards that can feel undersized or sit too low for bigger paddlers, the Angler stays buoyant and predictable. Whether you’re cruising, surfing, paddling with a kid or a dog, have extra gear or just want a relaxed day on the water, it delivers a comfortable experience without compromises.
The Angler is built to handle a wide range of environments, especially where stability matters most.
Lakes & Calm Water
This is where the board feels effortless. The wide platform creates a steady base that’s ideal for fishing, yoga, families, pets or relaxed cruising. You’ll spend less energy balancing and more time enjoying the session.
Coastal Water & Chop
When the wind picks up or the water gets bumpy, the Angler stays composed. Its width, volume, and buoyancy help it ride through chop with confidence. Paddling directly into strong wind does take a bit more effort (that’s the tradeoff for stability), but the board remains steady when conditions get unpredictable.
Shallow Flats & Mangroves
Swap the standard 9” fin for a 4” flex fin and the Angler slips into shallow water with ease. This setup is ideal for fishing in the flats, mangrove tunnels, and shallow areas where you want access without constantly worrying about bottoming out.
Tracking & Maneuverability
The stock single-fin setup balances straight-line tracking with enough maneuverability for fishing environments. Shorter fins increase agility in tight spaces; longer fins improve tracking on open water. The Angler is designed to adapt to how and where you paddle.
Definitely. While it’s purpose-built for fishing, the Big EZ Angler is far from a one-trick SUP.
Recreational Paddling
Its wide, stable platform makes it an easy, confidence-building choice for casual paddling on lakes, rivers, and calm coastal water - especially for beginners or larger paddlers.
Surfing
Surprisingly capable in the surf. The wide tail and generous volume provide steady takeoffs on waves, and optional side-bite fins allow you to set it up as a thruster. It’s a great option for bigger paddlers or anyone easing into SUP surfing.
Touring
At 11’0” with plenty of volume, the Angler works well for short touring and day trips, especially when you want to bring lots of gear along. For long-distance touring, there are more efficiency-focused boards in the Pau Hana lineup, but for casual exploration, it gets the job done.
Yoga & All-Around Use
The ultra-stable platform and soft EVA deck pad make it a solid choice for SUP yoga. It’s also well-suited for paddling with a kid, a dog, or just enjoying a mellow session on the water.
The Big EZ Angler uses Pau Hana’s premium Ricochet™ Technology, placing it among the most durable boards we make. Ricochet™ is an impact-resistant layer integrated into our high-end epoxy construction, it’s designed to protect against rocks, paddles, gear, and the kind of abuse fishing boards naturally see.
Compared to other Pau Hana constructions:
The Angler’s build is often described as “bombproof,” which matters when you’re launching off rocky shorelines, fishing shallow water, or loading the board with heaps of gear. It’s also designed to hold its performance over time, so it keeps feeling solid season after season.
Pau Hana’s construction quality is independently verified through REI’s Product Impact Standards, where our boards score in the top 10-15% of outdoor brands.
Yes. Financing is available directly through our website at checkout, with options starting around $144/month, allowing you to get on the water without paying everything upfront.
