Owners and staff are super friendly, decent board selection. It would have been nice if they had a board or two with a gopro mount. Other than that it was great, location was great and loaded with locals. The environment was so nice my wife typically came with me to take pictures. Great vibe.

Everyone at PauHana is so friendly and the place has a great vibe and really good selection of boards to choose from each day- depending on the waves- it's at a really great point on the beach too. We'll be back...:)
