The day after the Honolulu Marathon was free time. Since it depended on the weather and my physical condition, I made an online reservation on-site after the marathon. It was a busy time for travelers, and many spots were already booked, but I finally found an opening for a private lesson. The price was a bit high, but it couldn't be helped. It's great that they accept participants up to 80 years old.
The reception on the day was the worst. A Japanese female staff member was in charge, and while I felt relieved at first, her attitude was extremely cold. I was given a long T-shirt for kids to wear over my swimsuit, specifically a size S for children—about 5 or 6 years old! Even when I said it was impossible, she insisted that it would be sufficient for me. Is this bullying?
The people around me sympathized and suggested that I should get an exchange, and reluctantly, they brought out a proper size from a back room. I was the only Japanese person there, but having Japanese staff didn't guarantee comfort; in fact, I learned that I could be treated poorly.
As for surfing, I was able to stand on the board and ride the waves after just two or three tries. Getting up from a prone position to standing requires leg strength. It's definitely not something to do right after a full marathon.
ホノルルマラソン翌日のフリータイム。天気と体調次第なので、マラソン終了後、現地でネット申し込みしました。旅行者が多い時期でもあり、予約は結構埋まっていて、ようやくプライベートレッスンの空きを見つけました。金額割高だけど、仕方ない。80歳までokもありがたい。
当日の受付は最悪。日本人女性スタッフが采配していて、安心したのも束の間、めちゃくちゃ塩対応。水着の上にガードの長Tシャツを着るのだが、私に渡されたのは子供用Sサイズ。5、6歳くらいの!
無理、と言っても、あなたにはそれで充分と。これってイジメ?
周りの人も見かねて、交換してもらうべきと共鳴してくれて、渋々奥の部屋からまともなサイズのを取り出してきた。
日本人は私だけでしたが、日本人スタッフがいれば安心ということでは無いな。むしろ、ゴミのような扱いを受ける場合もあると知った。
サーフィン自体は、2,3回でボードに立って波に乗る事ができた。
腹這いから、瞬時にボードに立つので、脚力が必要。フルマラソン直後にやるものではないな。

I made a reservation for stand-up paddleboarding, but I was advised to switch to surfing due to strong winds. It was a different experience from what I originally intended, but thanks to the careful instruction, I had a great time. Thank you very much!

Dear Taa-san, thank you for your kind review. On windy days, stand-up paddleboarding can be very challenging for beginners, so it was the right decision to switch to surfing. I hope you can experience SUP next time. We look forward to your next visit.

Currently, due to the impact of COVID-19, most shuttle tours are not being conducted, so I booked this parasailing experience near Waikiki. I had a reservation at 11 AM and planned to take the trolley bus and walk there, but the trolley took a long time to arrive... so I ended up taking a taxi.
There were 10 people on the boat, including us, plus 2 staff members. I took motion sickness medicine beforehand, so I didn't get seasick! The staff was always cheerful, and even though the guide spoke English, communication was easy enough. It was my first time parasailing, and... the result!! It was incredibly fun!!! The moment we took off was the most thrilling. Once we were in the air, it surprisingly didn't sway much, and we had a relaxing time. Before landing, we did get a nice splash into the sea, which was funny! I was so excited that I also purchased photos for $40. Overall, it was so much fun that I want to do it again soon!
現在、コロナ禍の影響で送迎付きツアーがほとんど実施されていないので、ワイキキ近辺で出来るこちらのパラセーリングを予約しました。
11時の予約でトロリーバスと徒歩で向かおうとしたのですが、トロリーがなかなか来ず…結局タクシーで行きました。
船は私たち入れて10名+スタッフ2名。
酔い止めを飲んで行ったので船酔いはせずすみました!スタッフさんは常に陽気で英語ガイドですが問題ないくらいコミュニケーションもとれます。
初めてのパラセーリングでしたが……結果!!めちゃくちゃ楽しかったです!!!
旅立つ瞬間が1番ドキドキでした。空に上がってからは意外と揺れずにゆっくりした時間を過ごせました。着地の前にはしっかり海にボチャされます笑。でもまたそれがおもしろい!
気持ちも高まって写真も40ドルで購入しました。総合的に楽し過ぎてまた早くやりたいです!!

I tried surfing for the first time. They teach you carefully so that even beginners can understand, and when you're about to catch a wave, they guide you by saying, "Paddle and ride now!" After a few tries, I was able to ride the waves! Even in group lessons, you get to ride quite a number of waves, so I felt very satisfied.
*Tips are not included in the tour price, so it's recommended to bring cash. Depending on the group, there are usually about two trainers, so I think it's good to bring around three $10 bills.
初めてサーフィンをしました。
初めてでもわかるように丁寧に教えてくれるし、
波に乗る時は、教えくれて、漕いで今乗れーと、教えてくれるので、数回やると、乗れるようになりました!
グループレッスンでも、かなりの数の波に乗れるので、とても満足感があります。
※チップはツアー料金に含まれないので、現金で持参がおすすめです。グループによりますが、トレーナーが2名位いるので、10ドル札を3枚くらい持参が良いと思います

Thank you very much for kindly instructing my family, who had the selfish desire to surf starting from New Year's Day. A long time ago, when I came to Hawaii, the lively sight of people surfing left a lasting impression on me, and I had always wanted to try surfing the next time I visited Hawaii. This time, it became a reality and a challenge after turning sixty, but I was able to experience it with my family.
The instructor was very kind and explained everything clearly. Although it was a short time, everyone managed to get on the board and even ride some waves, making us feel like we had joined the ranks of surfers. This activity became a precious page in the memories of our trip to Hawaii. I am grateful for the wonderful encounter with the instructor. Surfing is the best!
元旦からサーフィンをしたいというわがままな家族に大変親切に指導していただきありがとうございました。
だいぶ以前にハワイに来た時に、サーフィンをやっている人の海に入っていく時の生き生きとした姿が目に焼き付いており、次にハワイ来たときは絶対にサーフィンをやってみたいと思っていました。今回、還暦を過ぎての実現、挑戦となってしまいましたが、家族と一緒に体験させていただきました。
インストラクターの方はとても親切で教え方もわかりやすく、短時間でしたが、皆、何とか板の上にも乗ることができ、形なりにも波にも乗ることができて、サーファーの仲間入りしたような気分にさせていただきました。
このアクティビティはハワイの旅の貴重な思い出の一ページになりました。
素晴らしいインストラクターとの出会いに感謝いたします。サーフィン最高。

When I went to the activity shop, the staff quickly assisted me. During the activity, there was someone who spoke Japanese, so I was able to enjoy it with peace of mind. The view from the sea was a beautiful combination of Hawaii's stunning ocean and the whale-shaped mountain, which was very moving! The parasailing landed us on the boat, so I didn't get too wet. I also tried jet skiing for the first time, and it was fun! It's great that you can decide whether to purchase photos and videos after actually seeing them.

It's a place you can easily reach on foot from the hotel, so I decided to go. The staff on the boat were very pleasant, and I thought they were skilled at operating the vessel. I chose the 150m parasailing option, and there was absolutely no fear; it was exhilarating, the view was amazing, and I even saw whales. I highly recommend this option. I had someone on the boat take photos with my smartphone, so I didn't have to pay a high fee for pictures.

We had a wonderful time on this adventure to the north shore on Oahu. Cousin G was our guide and he did a great job taking care of us and keeping things lively. He was so knowledgeable of the history and the area and all the ins and outs of where to go. He was really funny, too! Waimea falls was beautiful and the next stop we opted for paddle boarding. We didn't see any sea turtles, but it was still fun and peaceful. We had a small group of 10, which I don't think is usual, but it was a treat for us because we could move around easily and quickly get in and out of places. We'd highly recommend this to anyone!!

This is my second time participating, but unfortunately, I was quite busy and got seasick on the boat before we even reached the open water. Even at 150 meters out to sea, I couldn't enjoy the scenery, and I ended up looking much paler than the blue waters of Waikiki... Next time, I will definitely take motion sickness medication and give it another try.
