I spent 10 days on Maui. I tried standup in waves for the first time. It's a lot easier to catch mushy waves on a SUP than a regular long board. I wish I could of rented a shorter more maneuverable one for the waves.
Best fun thats where I started a couple of years ago, now its overtaken all other sports and all I think about is my next paddling fix :)
Heading to Maui in December and that wave looks like it would be right up my alley.
Wondering where it is.
It's North of Lahaina.I don't know about the parking situation. I stayed in walking distance of were I surfed all 10 days. There were several places (parks) South of Lahaina that had ample parking and appeared to be pretty mellow paddle board spots. I think they were a little smaller in size during the North swell. Honolua Bay was 15' during the same time I was surfing here. Some of the larger sets were about head high where I was at. Where are you planning on staying?
Ps there were 3 shark attacks on Maui in the 3 weeks prior to my arriving and a spear fisherman was attacked while I was there. I saw a huge Tiger shark on the surface near Maalaea while I was there. Glad I was in the car and not in the water at the time.
start using your paddle more to crank some turns , and you will have even more fun
Nice waves to get a start in. You adjusted well
The paddle will work its way into your routine as you progress.

Oh dear me, things must be drastic if LORD DOGGIE is taking sides.
