About Us

The 'Time after work'

Who is Pau Hana Surf Supply? 

We’re a tribe of people who drive to the beach and sleep in the car just to be the first at the break in the morning.  We’ve lived in tents in Yosemite to climb, lived in vans by the river to paddle, and keep chasing the adventure wherever the season takes us. We love a good surf session, sending a route, and landing a new trick.  We marvel at sunrises, pause for the  sunsets, and are always on the lookout for new horizons. That’s what we live for and we make the gear that keeps those dreams alive.

ABOUT THE DESIGNER

Todd Caranto

Founded in California in 2007 by Todd Caranto, a Filipino-American, he was the first designer to win Outside Magazines “Gear of the Year” for Stand Up Paddle Boards in 2012. Pau Hana Surf Supply has continued to innovate paddleboard design and outdoor equipment by releasing market leading products throughout its history, with a collection of patents to show for it.

CREATION

CREATION

Pau Hana takes the origins of stand up paddling and surfing seriously, but has interest in the opportunity for improvement in the shapes, materials, designs, and functionality of paddleboards. Whether it is fishing from a paddle board or doing SUP yoga, the possibilities of what paddleboarding has to offer has been growing in part to new technologies. Pau Hana has created new technologies like the SeaMount® System, the Lotus Yoga Ring, and Ricochet™ Technology to get people out on the water even more. We want our customers to feel the stoke of being out on the water longer, safer, faster, and in ways that have never been done before.
