My father wanted to go, so my father, sister, and I participated together. The canoe could hold five or six people, but perhaps because it was early in the morning, we were the only participants, so two staff members joined us. After just a brief lesson on how to hold the paddle and how to row, we set off into the sea. We all paddled out to the open water and waited for the waves. The staff would let us know when a good wave was coming, and when we started paddling at their signal, we were able to ride the waves successfully. The canoe moved forward with great momentum, and surprisingly, we picked up quite a bit of speed, so we got pretty wet from the splashes (laughs). We rode the waves twice before finishing. They also took photos for us, and including that, it was about $30 per person, but I thought I would have been satisfied if we could have ridden the waves three times. Overall, I can say it was "fun!" and since it's an experience you can't really have elsewhere, I highly recommend it!
父が乗りたい!ということで父・姉・私の3人で参加しました。
カヌーは5、6人乗りでしたが、朝早かったためか参加者は私たち家族だけだったので、2人のスタッフが一緒に乗ってくれました。
パドルの持ち方と漕ぎ方をちょっと教わっただけですぐ海へ出発。沖まで全員で漕いで行き、波を待ちます。いい波がきたことをスタッフが教えてくれるので、その合図で漕ぎだすとうまく波に乗ることができました。カヌーは勢いよく進み、意外にスピードが出ていたので水しぶきがすごく、結構濡れました(笑)
波に2回乗って終了。写真も撮ってくれていてそれを含め、1人30ドルくらいでしたが、できれば3回波に乗れれば満足かなーと思いました。ただやはり感想としては「楽しかった!」し、あまり他では経験できないのでおススメです!

Standing on a board on the water seemed absolutely impossible to me... or so I thought, but surprisingly, I managed to do it. When the wind blows, I become the sail myself... So, during strong winds, if I just stand there, I'll get swept away... In those moments, I sit down to avoid it.
After a simple explanation, I was pulled into the sea and before I knew it, I was standing on the board. Moreover, while sitting, I found myself riding the waves. When I paddle while riding the waves, I can change direction... I see now... This is how everyone gets hooked on this sport...
Feeling refreshed and gliding smoothly, I spotted a sea turtle within reach... What a lucky moment! And when I saw an old man standing on his board making a phone call out in the ocean, I felt like I had witnessed something just as precious as the sea turtle, and it excited me.
The convenience of being able to leave my hotel in Waikiki in my swimsuit and return in the same attire is the biggest charm. The CD I received has become a cherished memory, more valuable than any souvenir.
水の上のボードに立つなんて、絶対に無理!。。。と思っていたけど、意外といける。。。
風が吹くと立っている自分自身がセイルになるのだとか。。。だから、強風の時はぼ~~っと突っ立ってると流される。。。そんな時は座って回避。
カンタンな説明のあと引っ張られるままに海に入り、いつのまにかボードの上に立っていた。おまけに座ってだけど、いつの間にか波に乗っていた。波に乗りながらパドルを水に刺すと方向が変わる。。な~るほど。。。
こうやって皆このスポーツにハマっていくんだ。。。
気分爽快でスイスイ進んでいると手が届くかと思う距離にウミガメが。。。なんとラッキー
そして、沖でボードに立って電話をかけてたじいさんを見たとき、ウミガメと同じくらい貴重なものを見た気がしてワクワクした。
ワイキキのホテルから水着ででかけ、水着で帰ってこれるという手軽さが何より魅力。いただいたCDもお土産よりも大切な思い出になった。

I had a great time learning how to stand up paddle surf. The instructors are really good at what they do, and they make sure that you are comfortable going out into the ocean. Stand up paddling is a really good workout, because you are paddling, as well as, keeping your balance. You are getting a workout, but you are having a lot of fun, which makes the time and exercise fly by.
