Kayaks
Our kayaks are awesome. We take great care in selecting the right Kayaks for Wailua River. We do not subscribe to Quantity over Quality.
Sustainability – We are constantly looking for ways to improve as a sustainable company. Asking ourselves “why” helps us to continue to find better ways to do business while having less of an impact on the environment.
Volunteerism: As a company we volunteer our time at various beach, park, and roadway cleanups.
Support and utilize local products: As an island in the Pacific sending and receiving material takes a large toll on the environment. Our goal is to use products manufactured on Kauai or in the state of Hawaii. As we grow our goal is to add more locally made surfboards and SUPs.
Luggage: Leave your board at home and rent on island. Packing less and bringing the essentials that you need can not only save you some extra money, but it can also help reduce the emissions of your flight. According to Alternative Airlines “if everyone aimed to pack 2lbs (0.9kg) less than normal, it would be equivalent to removing over 10,000 cars from the road annually!” Another option would be to have a local shaper make a board for you to pick up when you arrive. Plan ahead of time in order to have the board ready upon your arrival. Feel free to contact us for information on Kauai based board builders. Hemingway Surfboards shapes our personally boards.
Why rent a Wave storm when you can buy one at Costco?
This is a great question and often happens while on an extended vacation. Costco is the number one company in the world for surfboard sales. A new Wave storm cost roughly $150 (plus tax). These boards eventually end up in our landfills. You may be able to give it to some one on the island after your stay however the supply of soft top boards like the Wave storm outweigh the demand on island. For this reason, we will never charge the cost of a new board for a rental. If you are going to be on vacation for 2 months and want a Wave storm you got it and you will pay less than the cost of the new board.
Cost Effective –
Kauai is expensive! Tell me about it… Our goal is to provide a great product and service at a fair and competitive price.
How We Operate –
We aim to keep it simple, flexible, and keeping your valuable on island time a priority.
Give us a call or text anytime. I always encourage people to call or even text before renting a board. Find out about board availability, conditions, or schedule your rental. Boards are reserved on a first come first served basis.
