My fiancee and I had a lot of fun on our 1-hour stand-up paddleboarding lesson. This was our first time trying paddleboarding, and it was a pleasant and easy experience. The part of Ala Moana beach that we were on is a little less crowded, and we had very flat waters with few waves and little wind, making for an easier beginner experience. For reference we had a 10AM time. The instructor was very friendly and accommodating when we arrived late, and he walked us through a few basics on land before moving onto the water. He was there with us the whole time and provided expert guidance and tips, helping us balance and become acclimated to the activity. Lots of fun!
