After checking in, I was lent a rash guard and received a brief lecture on the beach about my position on the board, how to stand up, and how to use the paddle, before heading straight into the ocean for practice. At first, I was a bit stiff and hesitant to stand up from my knees due to fear, but once I managed to stand, it wasn't as scary anymore. However, when the board rocked with the waves, I braced my feet and lost my balance, falling into the sea! In a panic, I clung to the board and somehow managed to get back on it, but I realized I had let go of the paddle, which was floating about 2 meters away from me.
I was so far away from the instructor and my family that I couldn't even hear them, and I was at a loss without being able to retrieve the paddle. Fortunately, a photographer (who was also on a board and taking pictures nearby) noticed my situation and came back to help me get the paddle, which saved the day. Thank you very much!
When the board rocked with the waves, I learned to keep my knees soft instead of bracing my feet, allowing my whole body to absorb the movement, which helped me avoid falling.
I spent about an hour and a half going back and forth in a relatively calm area from in front of the Royal Hawaiian to near the Moana Surfrider, and just as I was starting to have fun, it was time to finish. For my first experience, it was quite enjoyable. The instructor spoke only in English.
受付後ラッシュガードを貸してもらい、砂浜で簡単なレクチャー(ボードの上の立ち位置、立ち上がり方、パドルの使い方)を受けた後、すぐに海へ入り実践です。最初は恐怖心から膝立ちから立ち上がるまでがぎこちなかったのですが、一度立ち上がってしまえばそれほど怖くなくなります。しかし波でボードが揺れる際に足を踏ん張ってしまったため、体のバランスを崩し海へ落下!無我夢中でボードにしがみつき、なんとかボードの上に上がることが出来ましたが、気が付くとパドルを手放してしまっていて、2Mほど離れたところで浮いているではありませんか。
インストラクターと家族とは声も届かないくらい離れてしまっていて、パドルを取ることも出来ないまま、途方に暮れていましたら、カメラマンの方(自身もボードに乗り近くで写真を撮ってくれる方)がその様子に気づいて、パドルを取りにそばまで戻ってきてくださり、事なきを得ました。ありがとうございました。
ボードが波で揺れた時は、足を踏ん張らずに膝を柔らかくして、身体全体で揺れを吸収するようにしましたら、落ちることも無くなりました。
1時間半ほどロイヤルハワイアンの前から隣のモアナサーフライダーの前の辺りまでの、割と穏やかな場所を何周かして、ようやく楽しくなってきたころに終了。初めてにしては十分楽しく事が出来ました。
インストラクターの方は英語のみでした。

It was easier to stand up than I thought. It had more buoyancy and was more stable than a longboard. It was a bit challenging to avoid swimmers and others doing stand-up paddleboarding, but I also got to see a HONU (turtle), which was fun.
思ったより簡単に立てました。ロングボードより浮力があり、安定していました。
泳いでいる人や、他のスタンドアップパドルをやっている人を避けるのかちょっと大変だったけど、HONU(かめ)も見られて、楽しかった。

I participated with a friend!
It was both of our first times surfing, and we were excited and nervous. The instructor didn't speak Japanese, which made me even more anxious about whether we would understand, but they taught us in slow and gentle English, so we were able to grasp everything.
We practiced on the beach and then headed into the ocean!
The instructor pushed us hard when the waves were good, and I was able to stand on the board and ride the wave on my first try! It was just exhilarating!
After that, the instructor sent us out alternately, which made me feel very secure.
Riding the waves was of course fun, but just floating on the board while waiting for our turns and the waves with my friend felt amazing!
An hour flew by, but by the end, my arms were at their limit, so one hour was just right for beginners.
One thing I definitely recommend is to use sunscreen!!! I don’t usually burn easily, so I didn’t apply much, but since we were lying face down in the water the whole time, my calves and the backs of my thighs got really burned! If you don’t want to get too much sun, please apply sunscreen generously on the back side.
I would love to participate again if I have the chance.
友達と2人で参加させて頂きました!
2人ともサーフィンをするのは初めてで、ワクワクドキドキ。。
先生は日本語を話せない方だったのでちゃんと分かるのか更にドキドキしましたが
英語がたいして分からない私達でも分かるように、ゆっくりと優しい英語で教えて頂けたのでちゃんと理解することが出来ました。
始めビーチで練習をしていざ海へ!!
先生が良い波の時におもいっきり押してくれるので、1回目でボードの上に立ち波に乗ることが出来ました!!
そりゃもう爽快のひと言!!!
その後も友達と交互に先生が送り出してくれるのでとても安心感がありました。
波に乗ってる時ももちろん面白かったのですが、
友達との順番待ちと波待ちの為にボードの上でプカプカ浮いて居るだけで最高に気持ち良かったです!!
あっという間の1時間
しかし、終わる頃には腕に限界がきていたので初心者には1時間がとてもちょうど良かったです。
ひとつ絶対にした方が良いと思うのは、とにかく日焼けどめです!!!
私はあまり日焼けに抵抗が無いので、そんなに塗っていなかったのですが、
なにせずっとうつ伏せで海に浮かんで居るわけですから、ふくらはぎ、太ももの裏側がものすごーーく焼けます!!
あまり焼けたく無いという方はこれでもかって言うくらい、裏側に日焼け止めを塗って下さい。
また機会があったら参加したいです。

I experienced stand-up paddleboarding. First, I was worried about the explanation in English, but a Japanese staff member kindly explained everything to me. The instructor was a foreigner who was cheerful and nice, but there was hardly any guidance once we got out on the water, so I had to rely on my memory of the initial instructions to manage on my own. However, I was able to stand up relatively easily and enjoyed it.
There were a few disappointing things, though. When I returned to the reception after the lesson, the instructor handed me a towel, but the Japanese woman at the reception told me that only Royal Hawaiian guests could use the towels and took it away from me. I was charged $50 plus tax even though it was supposed to include photos. Since I thought there would be photos included, I hadn’t prepared my own camera, so I had no choice but to purchase the photos. The lesson itself was a lot of fun, so it was unfortunate. Later, VELTRA refunded me for the photo fee.

インストラクターは外国人の方で明るくていい人でしたが、海に出てからの指導がほとんどなかったので最初の説明を思い出しながら自力でなんとかするって感じでした。
でも割とすんなりと立つことができ楽しめました。
ただ残念なことがいくつかありました。
レッスンが終わって受付に戻った際、インストラクターがタオルを渡してくれたので持っていると受付の日本人女性にロイヤルハワイアンの宿泊者のみがタオルを使えるんです!と言われ取り上げられました。
写真つきとなっていたのに50ドル+税を請求されたこと。

I attended with my wife. It was our first time doing stand-up paddleboarding, and we had a great time. The winter Waikiki Beach has calmer waves compared to places like Kailua, and the water is clear, allowing us to see corals and sea turtles, making it an excellent spot for beginners. It's also just a short walk from our hotel, and the lessons are brief, so it's really recommended for those looking to "experience" it.
The only complaint I have is that even though it included photo shooting, they only took pictures during the first 10 minutes of the lesson. So, we didn't get any "cool" photos when we were more comfortable. If they could have taken photos for 5 minutes at the beginning and end of the lesson, it would have been a perfect 5-star experience.
妻と参加しました。初めてのスタンドアップパドルでしたが、とても楽しめました。冬のワイキキビーチは、カイルアなどと比べると波も穏やかだし、水は澄んでいて、サンゴやウミガメが見えたりして、初心者には最高の場所かも知れません。ホテルからも歩いてすぐの距離にあって、レッスンも短時間なので本当に"体験"するにはオススメです。唯一、不満を挙げるとすると、写真撮影付きとは言え、実際に撮影してくれたのはレッスンの初めの10分間くらいなので、慣れてきた頃の"カッコいい"写真は撮って貰えなかったところです。折角だったら、レッスンの初めと終わりのそれぞれ5分間を撮って貰えたら大満足の5スターでした。

The instructor watches all the timing for catching the waves, so even complete beginners like us were able to ride easily and have fun. A separate photographer was there to capture us while we were riding the waves. It was great to receive a ROM at the end to keep a record of the experience. The actual surfing time was just under an hour, which I think was just right in terms of physical exertion! I recommend going early in the morning as the beach is less crowded then.

Meeting in front of the Royal Hawaiian Hotel, also known as the Pink Palace, 30 minutes before the start. (I used it during the dinner buffet with a show last time. To visit again for an activity...) It's very convenient to access, as it's within walking distance from the Royal Hawaiian Shopping Center (trolley stop) and hotels in the Waikiki area. Heading to the beach from Kalakaua Avenue through a narrow path with board lockers, I arrived next to the counter.
First, I checked in at the counter. After reading and signing a document with important notes regarding participation, we began the lesson using boards at Waikiki Beach. First, we learned how to balance on the board, including foot and face positioning. Next, we learned paddling (the efficient hand shape), how to go through waves, and how to avoid contact with others. The instructions were very clear, which eased my tension.
Finally, we headed to the sea. First, I got on the board and paddled out. Upon reaching the surfing point, we waited for the waves. When a suitable wave came, the instructor shouted, "Paddle, paddle!" and I paddled vigorously. When I felt I could ride the wave, I quickly grabbed both sides of the board and moved into the riding position. I adjusted my stance to maintain balance and kept my gaze focused on the horizon to stay calm. At first, I was nervous and couldn't move my body as I wanted. Gradually, with the instructor's support, my desire to stand on the board grew stronger, and I managed to ride successfully. If I have another opportunity to surf next time, I hope to be able to take off on my own... I also want to review the CD to pay attention to my riding position, posture, and gaze for my next attempt. The one-hour surfing experience flew by surprisingly quickly, but it was just the right amount of physical activity. After the activity, we had a lunch buffet at the restaurant. Additionally, boards are available for rent, and I plan to surf again at Waikiki Beach later.
This was my first surfing experience, and thanks to the support of all the staff, I was able to enjoy the thrill of standing on the board. Also, I had my riding pose captured with Diamond Head in the background on the CD, creating a wonderful memory. Thank you very much for all your help. I sincerely appreciate it. If there is another opportunity, I look forward to it.
憧れのピンク・パレスことロイヤルハワイアンホテルのビーチ前に開始30分前集合。(前回ショー付きディナービッフェにて利用。再び、アクティビティにて訪れるとは…。)ロイヤルハワイアンショッピングセンター(トロリー停留所)やワイキキエリアホテルから徒歩圏内のため、アクセスも大変便利。カラカウア通りからボードロッカーのある細道をビーチへ向かうとカウンター横に到着。
まずは、カウンターにてチェックイン。参加にあたっての注意事項等書面にて一読後、署名。その後、ワイキキビーチにてボードを使用してレッスン開始。まずは、ボード上でのバランスのとり方、足や顔の向き等々。次に、パドリング(効率の良い手の形)やウェーブスルー、人との接触回避方法も学ぶ。とても解りやすく教えて頂き、緊張感も和らぎました。
いよいよ、海へ。まずは、ボードに乗りパドリングで沖へ出る。波乗りポイントに到着、波を待つ。サーフィンに適した波が来たら、先生の掛け声「こいで、こいで。」とともに、勢い良くパドリング。波に乗れたと感じられたら、瞬時にボードの両脇を持ち、ライディングの工程へ。立ち位置を修正しながらバランスをとり、目線を遠くに向けるなどをしてなるべく持続できるように平常心を保つ。最初は、緊張していたためなかなか思うように体を動かすことができませんでした。徐々に、先生のサポートによりボードに立ちたいという思いが強くなり、なんとかライディング成功。次回サーフィンをする機会がありましたら、一人でテイク・オフができるように…。また、CDを見直してライディング位置や姿勢、目線などに注意をしながら再チャレンジ計画に役立てたいと思いました。1時間程度のサーフィン体験は、驚く程あっという間でしたが体力的にもちょうど良かったです。アクティビティ参加終了後は、レストランにてランチビッフェ。また、ボードはレンタル可能、後日再びワイキキビーチにてサーフィン。
この度は、初めてのサーフィン体験でしたが、お陰様でスタッフの皆様のサポート力でボードに立つ楽しさまでも味わさせて頂きました。また、ダイヤモンド・ヘッドをバックにライディング姿をCDに収めて頂き、素敵な思い出となりました。色々とお世話になり、本当に有難うございました。心より感謝申し上げます。また機会がございましたら、どうぞよろしくお願いいたします。

At first, I was flustered after entering the water and kept failing to stand up as I had been taught, but after several attempts, I became more relaxed and was able to stand up calmly as instructed, managing to ride the waves for a longer time!! Riding the waves was so much fun… it felt amazing♪ I want to go again.

However, when I arrived at the location, I was surprised to find out that it was only a ticket for canoe surfing. It seemed that there were several groups before us who had a similar experience... I was really disappointed since we went to Hawaii to surf. In the end, thanks to the consideration of the local staff, I was able to pay the regular lesson fee and go surfing, but it was disappointing since they advertised a low price. The school itself had a fun instructor, and I really enjoyed it!

The wind was very strong on the day, so the staff suggested, "Stand-up paddleboarding can be quite difficult because the wind hits your body directly, so surfing might be more enjoyable. What do you think?"
To be honest, I was interested in surfing, but I never thought I would be able to stand on the waves, as I had signed up for stand-up paddleboarding. I appreciated their consideration and decided to challenge myself with surfing for the first time in my life!
First, I received a brief lesson on basic movements on the water at Waikiki Beach, and then it was time to head into the ocean. They taught us in Japanese, saying things like, "Paddle (with your hands)~" and "Stand up~!" which helped me stand nicely on the waves♪
A fellow participant who was surfing for the second time mentioned, "The waves in Waikiki are gentle, so they're easy for beginners to ride." I also never expected to be able to ride the waves so quickly, so I think the staff's teaching skills are excellent! (*^-^*)
After all, when you come to Hawaii, you have to enjoy the ocean too, right?♪♪ It's a very easy experience to enjoy surfing since it's within walking distance from the Waikiki Hotel, and there's no need to move the surfboards☆
I highly recommend it! (*^^*)

実のところ、サーフィンに興味がありましたがまさか波の上に立てるとは思っておらず、スタンドアップパドルを申し込んでいた私。。。
ご配慮に感謝し、人生初!のサーフィンに挑戦しました!!
最初にワイキキのビーチで簡単な水の上での動作レクチャーを受け、いざ海の中へ☆
日本語で、「漕いで(手で)~」とか「立って~!」とか教えてくれるので、波の上でもいい感じで立つことができました♪♪
一緒に参加した、サーフィン2回目の方が「ワイキキの波は穏やかなので、初心者の方には乗りやすい」と言われていました。
私もまさか!すぐに波の上に乗れるとは思っていなかったので、スタッフの方のティーチングの上手さは素晴らしい!と思っています(*^-^*)
やっぱり、ハワイに来たら海の中も満喫しなきゃですよね~♪♪
ワイキキホテルから徒歩で訪れ、サーフボードの移動もないのでとっても楽にサーフィンが楽しめる体験だと思います☆
お勧めします(*^^*)

It was a somewhat cloudy morning, but since we had canoe surfing at 10 AM, there were only a few people on the beach and in the water. We all pushed the heavy canoe surfing onto the sand and then floated it in the sea, after which we started paddling in sync with the person in front of us.
Even when some slightly high waves came, we paddled at a right angle to the waves and made our way out to sea.
While we were out there, we could enjoy a 360-degree view of Waikiki while paddling with our paddles!!
When a slightly higher wave came, we pointed the bow towards the beach. To ride the wave like surfing, we paddled with all our might. And then...
We really glided on the wave, with The Royal Hawaiian ahead of us. To our right was Diamond Head, and to our left was the Halekulani Hotel, among others. I felt so happy as I finished my first wave ride.
After finishing the second wave in the same way, I was surprised that it was already over.
It did say at least two rides, but we had only been doing the activity for 15 minutes!!! I ended it feeling a bit sad.
This activity is great for families and couples. If it's a group of women, the beach boys might be happy to join in?! They might make the wave riding even more enjoyable.
I highly recommend this activity!!!
雲が少々多い朝でしたが、10時からのカヌーサーフィンだったので、ビーチにも、海にも人はまばら。
重いカヌーサーフィンを皆で砂の上を押し、海に浮かべ、その後、前の人に合わせ漕ぎ始めます。
途中少々高い波がきても波に対して直角に漕ぎ、ある程度沖にでます。
沖に出ているあいだ、パドルで漕ぎながらも360度ワイキキの眺めを堪能できます!!
少し高めの波がきたところで船首をビーチ側へ。
サーフィンと同じ容量で波に乗るため、あるったけの力をふりしぼり漕ぎます。そうすると・・・。
本当に滑るように波に乗り、前方にThe Royal Hawaiian。
右手にはダイアモンドヘッド。左手にはハレクラニホテルなどなどなど。
とても幸せな気分で1回目の波乗り終了。
2回目も同様に乗り終わったところで、な・なんと、終了してしまいました。
確かに最低2回と書いてあったけど。まだ、アクティビティを始めて15分しか経ってない!!!
ちょっと、悲しい気持ちで終了してしまいました。
このアクティビティは、家族もよし、カップルもよし。
女性同士だったらビーチボーイも喜んで?!
もっと波乗りを楽しませてくれるかもしれません。
おすすめのアクティビティです!!!

The canoe is stable, making it easy to head out to sea and enjoy a pleasant surfing experience. I recommend it for couples and families.
安定感があるカヌーで、簡単に沖に出て、気持ちよくサーフィンが体験できました。カップル、ファミリーにお薦め。

On July 30, I participated in the "Stand-Up Paddle Beginner Plan." On the day of the event, I arrived at the meeting point by the poolside of the Royal Hawaiian Hotel at 9:30. After checking in, I waited until the lesson started at 10:00. The staff provided some instructions, and the lesson began. It was my first experience with stand-up paddle surfing, and we started with a simulation on land before finally heading into the ocean. I was nervous at first, but gradually got used to it and was able to stand up and paddle. It was an hour-long lesson that flew by.
7/30「スタンドアップパドル初心者プラン」に参加しました。当日は9:30に集合場所のロイヤルハワイアンホテルのプールサイドに行きました。受付後、10:00時のレッスン開始までスタンバイ。スタッフの方から注意を受けレッスンが始りました。初めて経験する「スタンドアップパドルサーフィン」ですが陸上でシュミレーションを行いいよいよ海に入ります。最初は緊張していましたが、徐々に慣れてスタンドアップ&パドリングすることができました。あっという間の1時間レッスンでした。

I've been to Hawaii many times, but this was my first time surfing. The lesson was conducted in Japanese, and they provided advice on timing to catch the waves, so even as a beginner, I was able to ride the waves and had a lot of fun. The lesson lasted for one hour, which was just the right amount of time physically.
ハワイに何度も行っているが、はじめてのサーフィン。
レッスン内容は日本語で指導してくれて、波に乗るタイミングをアドバイスしてくれるので、はじめてだも波に乗ることができてとても楽しかったです。
レッスン時間が1時間でしたが、体力的にはちょうどいい時間でした。

I had a stand up paddle board lesson with Alison on 5/31. She brought along the correct sized board for me, something the rental places at Waikiki did not, and we had a great time. After a couple of minutes of getting used to the balance, I was off and running....err...paddling that is. It was a beautiful day, before and after the rain squall, and we saw numerous sea turtles swimming by us. Alison was fun, friendly, and easy to talk to and was an excellent instructor. I had the lesson my first day in Hawaii and it was so much fun, I did it every day I was there.
The second day I had a regular surfing lession with (Mollie, Matty? something like that, I forget now. But it was great fun also, I caught a few nice waves and she was really helpful....another great instructor. The learning curve for surfing is quite a bit higher than SUP, but I enjoyed it so much I'm taking another surfing lession this Sunday in cold water (wet suit) here in Washington state. It's true what they
