Home » Boogie Boards Are the Maui Surfboard Alternative You Should Try
Many people think that surfboarding would be the ultimate Hawaii experience. Unfortunately, surfboarding can’t be learned in a few days or even a week. Boogie boarding is different. With a Maui boogie board rental, you can conquer the waves and get that surfboard feeling without the same risks. Here are some tips if you are considering a boogie board rental Maui.
Is Boogie Boarding Right for You?
If you are a strong swimmer, you probably can handle a boogie board. And there’s nothing more fun than riding the waves. It’s exhilarating, and you feel a part of the ocean. This is a sport where you can learn a lot in just a few days. It’s wise to start where the surf is calmer such as Kama-ole 1, a beach that’s right across from our store. You’ll rarely have more fun practicing than you will with a boogie board.
Should You Rent or Buy?
You don’t need to own a board to get a good one. You certainly don’t need to buy it and transport it all the way from Iowa or wherever you are from. You can rent a good board and some kick fins for a reasonable fee, especially if you preorder online. Auntie Snorkel offers discounts that reduce your costs for multi-day and weekly boogie board rentals on Maui in the Kihei and Wailea area.
What are the Safety Concerns?
Choosing to boogie board rather than to attempt surfboarding is already a good move if you are new to the waters of Maui. However, there are still dangers. Make sure your leash stays attached. You can grab the board as a flotation device as long as it isn’t allowed to float away. Make sure to heed warnings such as high surf or strong current. Don’t go surfing when lifeguards aren’t on duty.
At Auntie Snorkel, we see a lot of island visitors. Our goal is to encourage you to take advantage of unique experiences to be found only on Kihei and Wailea Maui. Taking a boogie board to one of our many beaches is definitely a lifetime experience. Check out our deals and let us get you started on your boogie board adventure.

Really fantastic place to get gear from, Sarah helped us out when we needed a few supplies for a family of 4 to have a super fun experience at the... beach.

We rented 2 standup paddle boards online from Auntie Snorkel and got 50% off. It was nice that there was no set time and we just showed up in the... morning and paddled for 2 hrs. It was nice that they gave us some extra time to carry our boards across the street to the beach and back. The boards were very stable and we got to see a momma humpback whale with her cute playful calf while out there. That was such a cool experience.read more

This is our 8th year of experience with Auntie Snorkel. We come for one month a year to enjoy beautiful Maui. I have been so impressed over the... many years with their products and services. They give close attention to customer service and always have been so willing to provide tips and suggestions with respect to equipment.

We didn't happen upon Auntie Snorkel until our last few days in Maui, and truthfully, meeting Scott and popping in and out of this fantastic shop a... few times was among our favorite things about Maui!! Scott was incredible: kind, friendly, hilarious, and ultra-helpful! It was our first time boogieboarding and snorkling, and his expertise ensured we had a fantastic first experience. Our son asked a few times, "Is it just me, or are people in Maui REALLY awesome?!" This was every time after we left Auntie Snorkel. We would like Scott to adopt us, or vice versa. Either way, when we go back to Maui, it will be among our first stops! Stellar people and service - it felt like family! A billion stars to these guys, if that's a thing! We can't recommend this place highly enough, and we are picky!read more

This place totally saved the day and also set the tone for a whole day keishin. We ended up renting a whole bunch of stuff from these guys, and the... rates were affordable for high-quality product. More so than that however, my wife and I were exploring Hawaii and really didn't know what the best way to occupy our time might be. Both Gwen and Scott basically acted as our tour guides for this visit and pointed out all the best spots for snorkeling, eating, and leisurely activities. I could not recommend this place more. They have earned our business for life.
Btw- the biggest must-do attraction in Maui is snorkeling/diving. We got a freaking killer deal on the Calypso snorkeling tour to Molokini...it was honestly a steal. 6 hour tour for a little over $100/each which included 2 meals, gear, and a super friendly staff, including a naturalist who showed us all the cool fish and turtles. Beers we literally $2. Best deal on Maui. Incredible value. Dont miss this.read more

Mark was fantastic! We had an issue with thieves that caused us to deal with the police shortly after we got the boards. The boards were unable to be... utilized. We went back to Mark and asked if there was anything he could do for us and he let us come back the next day and have the boards for the full day with no extra charge. I watched Mark with people, he took his time with each customer, gave them great tips, good places to go for snorkeling and just general fun on the island. The people who gave him fours are out of their mind and apparently want Mark to be JESUS before they give him his appropriate 5 star rating.read more

Mark and Paul were great in helping us get on the brand new Calypso to go snorkeling at Molokini. The Calypso was a great boat. The crew was great... and the snorkeling was amazing. Thanks Mark and Paul! We recommend Auntie Snorkel for tours in Hawaii.read more

If you are looking for a great place to rent your Maui vacation gear...look no further than Auntie Snorkel. Auntie Snorkel is a small business... dedicated to providing quality rental gear at affordable prices with excellent customer service. We rented snorkel gear and stand up paddle boards during our vacation. Mark and Paul took time to fit us with the correct gear, give us instruction and make sure we were confident with how to use the gear and then recommended great spots for us to get out and enjoy our vacation. The rental pick up and return process was fast, efficient and friendly! I highly recommend Auntie Snorkel for your vacation rental and activity needs!read more

Auntie snorkel was so nice and friendly!! We had been to a couple of other rental places for SUPs and they were very rude and actually wouldn't rent... a board to us. Auntie snorkel's service was quick and easy; we were in and out in less than 10 min! They also gave us some good suggestions on good paddle boarding spots! I highly recommend them!!read more

I HIGHLY recommend Auntie Snorkel. We first stopped in at Boss Frog to rent gear. The 2 people working there were obviously bored, didn't feel like... talking and just pointed at the white board with written snorkel conditions. We left and found Auntie Snorkel. A small business owned by Mark and Paul and were impressed by their knowledge of Maui and how they ran their business. As we talked about location, conditions and equipment Mark said, "Our gear is the best". And he wasn't exaggerating. Fit to perfection. Rent your gear from Mark and Paul... you won't be disappointed.

Just got back from a week in Maui and I can not say enough about Paul and Mark at Auntie Snorkel. From day one they were great at working with us on... equipment and trips. Our Molokini trip was canceled due to Tropical Storm Darby and they were gracious while we debated an alternative or a refund. Mark worked to get us on a Zip Line trip the morning we flew out and we had such a blast. These guys don't deserve your business they work to earn it all the time with an Aloha spirit. Mahalo guys.read more

This man Mark Noble was honest and friendly and I didn't feel like he was going to suck us into anything we didn't want to do. We got a great deal... on ziplining at Northshore Ziplines and had a fab time!read more

Paul is extremely friendly and helpful plus their prices are great. I wouldn't think of renting from anyplace else.

Captain Brian, Jackie and Matt made for an amazing snorkeling trip. It's impossible to really explain how good it was but we caught tuna and saw... whales on the way to Molokini crater. Saw turtles at the second sight and on the way back Captain Brian saw dolphins and Matt cut up the Yellow Tail we caught. It was all unexpected. If you want a personalized trip with no crowds and genuine people then this is the boat. Thanks for everything. It was a perfect day (April 22nd, 2015).read more
