Mahalo to Island Paddler! The newer owner ( also previous co-owner) & local Hawaiian woman owner, now runs this business. She truly knows paddling & has the knowledge and experience to help you!! The hours are now Monday thru Saturday 10am-5:30pm:) NO restricted hours. Come take a look at new merchandise and wide range of paddles. She spent extensive time with us & my husband needed extra help obtaining the right paddle for him, after his last one broke ( from a different provider in the mainland). The prices are on point with the market. So happy this business is back!! Make sure to head over and check everything out, we need to support good local businesses!!!!

If your into outrigger canoe paddling, this is your place. Their selection of paddles and paddling gear is the most extensive in the island.

I had a disappointing experience with Island Paddler due to their extremely limited operating hours. As someone who strongly believes in supporting local and small businesses, it was disheartening to find that this establishment made it difficult for locals to patronize their store. Island Paddler's operating hours are quite restrictive, opening only for 3-1/2 hours from Monday to Friday. The store opens at 10 am but closes promptly at 12 pm for lunch until 3:30 pm, and then reopens for a brief period until 5 pm. Unfortunately, these hours make it challenging for individuals with busy schedules, like myself, to visit the store and make a purchase. My disappointment stems from the fact that my son urgently needed a new paddle, and our limited availability clashed with Island Paddler's restricted operating hours. It's unfortunate when a business seems to prioritize convenience for themselves over accommodating the needs of their customers. While I understand that small businesses may face various constraints, it's important to find a balance that allows them to serve their community effectively. Adjusting the hours to better align with the schedules of their customers would go a long way in fostering stronger relationships with the local community. In conclusion, I appreciate the significance of supporting local businesses, but when their operating hours do not accommodate the needs of the community, it becomes challenging to continue doing so. I hope Island Paddler considers revisiting their hours of operation to better serve their customers and attract more business in the future. Until then, I will have to take my business elsewhere in search of a more customer-friendly experience.

Not a huge selection but very knowledgeable and helpful staff. Was able to find a paddle for my novice paddler with no knowledge of paddles. The girl who helped us was so patient as she showed us the different paddles and prices points. She helped us to choose one that felt perfect and we left happy.

Such a great and friendly place. We needed to get a paddle for our daughter for high school paddling. Right through the door, Eric greeted us and gave us recommendations. We ended up with a great paddle for her. Quick and great checkout. Haru behind the counter was friendly and pleasant. Support this awesome owner-operated local business. Will definitely return and recommend highly. Mahalo nui.
