Highlights

THE GEAR

Inflatable SUP outfitted with motor and basic safety kit

Each rental includes an inflatable standup paddleboard equipped with an attached ScubaJet motor and controller, plus a paddle and a life belt; the operator also provides an inflation pump for groups that prefer to take boards deflated and inflate on site.

THE POWER

Motor assist changes the tempo of a paddle

The ScubaJet motor gives sustained propulsion and control not available to a purely paddled board, turning a long rental into a mix of powered cruising and paddle‑assisted exploration for an eight‑hour day.

THE FLEXIBILITY

Customize the board: deflated for transport or inflated and ready to run

You decide whether to take the SUP deflated for easier transport or inflated and ready to go; an inflation pump accompanies bookings so groups can set up on their own timetable.

What the day feels like

How the day unfolds

Expect a long, open day on the water: an eight‑hour rental that lets you balance powered cruising with hands‑on paddling. Start by preparing the unit — inflate if you chose the ready‑to‑go option or unpack and inflate on site with the provided pump — then climb aboard, engage the ScubaJet motor with the controller, and set your own pace along Kapa‘a’s shoreline. The package is built around self‑directed exploration with the convenience of motorized assistance and the included paddle and life belt for safety.
