Intro to Paddling

Our guide was super friendly, peacefully calm and knew how to put my mind at ease when I felt nervous about standing up. I preferred criss cross sitting or on knees the whole time and my teen son was a champ at the whole thing. We even saw a baby sea turtle poke his head up out of the water 😊. If this is your first time paddle boarding, please be aware that it is actually a big workout for the body (you will especially realize that the next day). Carrying the board into the water from the grass, although doable, was a lot for me (I am 50 years old with a touchy bad back). But such a unique and serene area to enjoy gliding across the water! I am happy to have experienced this with a guide I felt safe & confident with. Mahalo Yoga Floats!

This class was such a highlight on my first visit to Hawaii. I've never tried paddle boarding, so definitely nervous, but Kelsey was an amazing instructor! She taught us for the first 20 minutes going over rules and safety procedures and answer any questionswe we had. Actually it was an interesting morning to say the least. My cousin and I signed up initially for a 5 people class since it would be more closer to a one-on-one type of lesson. Later we found out there will actually be 2 extra people joining for this lesson. They are actually from the states too but had missed their appointment with Kelsey because they had supposedly overslept. So, instead of just following the no refund policy she had kindly offered to let them join us this morning instead. I'm glad that Kelsey respected our time and eventually we all continued on with the lesson without the others since they ended up being late 40 minutes into the lesson with still no sign of them where were had all gathered. To me, I just think it's a bit inconsiderate for someone to ask for a refund after missing the lesson twice in a row. Other than that, it was beautiful that morning, the wave were gentle, the wind wasn't overwhelming and we even saw a few sea turtles!!! Oh! And a jelly fish! Just amazing, I highly recommend taking this class if you want to learn basics! P.s. I thought I saw a turtle later too, but it was just a rock 😅.

Tried paddle boarding and yoga for the first time and had an incredible time! Would highly recommend and will be back next time I’m in Hawaii!

Took the intro to sup class, and it was great! We had been paddle boarding before, but kelsey laid out a great foundation before taking us out on the water (vice just letting us go out and take our chances in the water). The hour went by super fast and gave us a taste of how fun sup can be.

Really fun and easy! I did the AM Intro class. The location is perfect for paddle boarding. Kelsey does a great job. Her equipment is nice (boards, leashes, paddles and van) and the pre-paddling instruction is low key but thorough. I also appreciated her flexibility. I had to change classes after I booked and she made it painless. Definitely want to come back and do the yoga class!

My boyfriend was visiting Hawaii for the first time, and he really wanted to try paddleboarding. It was my first time too, but I stumbled upon Yoga Floats online and am really glad I did! Kelsey was a great instructor - she took her time to explain basic safety, about paddleboarding and etiquette of the beach too. She was also really accommodating and supportive (I was nervous to fully stand and stayed on my knees the whole time). She was also a great person overall! We were lucky to have great weather conditions, and her great energy also brought along a lot of great experiences. We saw a turtle pop its head up and a couple of fish flop out of the water too! I really want to check out some of their other offerings too, like stand up yoga and nighttime yoga on Fridays, where you can see the fireworks shortly after!

The beginner stand up paddle boarding was so much fun! The instructor was so kind and patient. I would definitely recommend to anyone looking to give SUP a try!

A great introduction to paddle boarding. I am in my mid-50's and not very athletic but I was able to do it sitting. We plan on getting paddle boards for ourselves.
