Stand up paddling has hit the North Shore and the two are a perfect fit. The coastline offers a plethora of options; variety is the name of the game for summer stand up paddling. Those seeking a mellow cruising session with calm surface waters usually head for the harbor of historic Haleiwa town. Starting there and moving north we will take a look at several of these amazing locations to paddle.
Haleiwa harbor-You enter the water somewhere around the war memorial statue (with engraved names of the local men who gave their lives in WW2. Korea & Vietnam) and start to paddle towards the incredibly beautiful scenic Pua’ena (glowing flower) point and the bay inside that is adjacent to Haleiwa park. As you paddle out a few hundred yards its breathtaking to just stop for a moment to absorb and appreciate the stunning beauty that is surrounding you. Sweeping from north to south you see Pua’ena point, Haleiwa park bay, the war memorial, the outrigger canoes on the beach, the Anahulu stream flowing under Rainbow bridge, the boat harbor itself, Ali’i & Kai’aka beach parks and the Waianae mountain range that slopes down the western most point of Oahu at Kaena point.
