THE BOARD

A true family-sized SUP for shared paddling

This ‘Family-Sized’ paddleboard fits 4–6 people comfortably and is intended for groups with at least one adult aboard; small children are expressly welcome when supervised by adults.

THE EXPERIENCE

Serene, shared time on the water

The core appeal is simple: glide together across calm water, share paddles and conversation, and make a picnic of the outing with a cooler allowed on board.

THE SUPPORT

Ready-to-go rentals with safety basics

Rentals come with required safety gear, a paddle and brief instruction so groups can get up and paddling quickly; anchors and extra paddles are also available for convenience.

What the day feels like

What it feels like to paddle the Ohana

Boarding with your group is deliberate but easy: one adult ensures stability while others settle in, paddles are distributed and a short walk-through of safety and technique gets everyone moving. From there the board carries a family across the water for a relaxed outing — the emphasis is on togetherness rather than speed or technical instruction.

Suitability

Who it's for

Who this outing suits — and who should look elsewhere.

1
Active FamiliesIdeal: fits 4–6 people, welcomes small children on board with adult supervision, and supports a relaxed family outing.
2
Groups of AdultsGood for mixed-age adult groups, but note the maximum of four adults on the board at one time even though the craft seats up to six people.
3
Parents with Small ChildrenSuitable: small children are explicitly permitted aboard as long as adults supervise and remain within the stated adult limits.
4
Solo AdventurersPossible but not optimized: a solo adult meets the minimum requirement, yet the platform is designed for shared family use rather than single-person performance.
