Why You’ll Love Our Boogie Board Rentals
⭐ Premium Slick-Bottom Boards That Actually Perform
Not all boogie boards are equal. The cheap fabric-covered styrofoam boards sold at convenience stores break on the first real wave and slow down significantly in the water. Auntie Snorkel rents premium slick-bottom bodyboards with a stringer interior for rigidity and a smooth underside that glides fast across the face of a wave. These are boards worth riding, not boards to tolerate.
⭐ Wrist Leash Included With Every Board
Every boogie board rental includes a wrist leash that keeps the board attached to your arm in the surf. You never have to chase your board down the beach after a wipeout, and the board stays close when you are floating between waves. It is a safety feature and a convenience that makes the whole session more enjoyable.
⭐ Fun for Every Age
We stock boogie boards in sizes for small children through large adults. Boogie boarding has no big learning curve, no age limit, and no fitness requirement. Kids who pick up a board for the first time figure it out within minutes. Adults who haven’t been on one since childhood are back in the water laughing within seconds. It is one of the most universally fun beach activities available.
⭐ More Than Just Wave Riding
A boogie board does more at the beach than catch waves. It works as a flotation device for guests who are less confident in the water, giving them a surface to hold onto while snorkeling or floating. It doubles as a comfortable pad to sit or lie on when the sand is hot. And for kids, it becomes a toy, a raft, a sled, and a surfboard all in one afternoon.
⭐ 50% Off When You Book Online
Booking ahead through auntiesnorkel.com cuts the standard boogie board rental price in half. This is one of the most significant online discounts we offer across all our rentals. Book at the same time as your snorkel gear and everything is ready for pickup in a single stop.
⭐ Pick Up at Either Our Kihei or Lahaina Shop
Boogie board rentals are available for pickup and return at either our Kihei store or our Lahaina store, regardless of which shop you reserved from. You can treat both locations like one big shop!

Where to Use Your Boogie Board in Kihei
Boogie boarding works best on beaches with consistent, rideable shore break. These South Maui beaches are our top recommendations.
- Kamaole Beach Park I (Kam I)
- Right across the street from our Kihei shop and our top pick for boogie boarding in South Maui. Kam I delivers consistent shore break on south swell days with a sandy bottom that makes wipeouts forgiving. Lifeguards are on duty and parking is available nearby. This is the first stop for most of our boogie board renters.
- Kamaole Beach Park II (Kam II)
- A short walk from Kam I with its own reliable shore break and a wide sandy beach. Kam II tends to be slightly less crowded than Kam I and often has equally good wave conditions. A solid alternative when Kam I is busy or the shore break there is flat.
- Kamaole Beach Park III (Kam III)
- The largest of the three Kamaole parks, with a long stretch of sandy beach and room to spread out. Good shore break on swell days and a great choice for families who want to boogie board and set up a full beach day in the same spot.
- Keawakapu Beach
- A longer, less crowded beach just south of Kihei that catches south swell well. Keawakapu is quieter than the Kamaole parks and offers a beautiful, more relaxed setting for a boogie board session.
Who Should Rent a Boogie Board from Auntie Snorkel?
This rental is a great fit for:
- Families with kids of all ages who want active, endless fun in the surf
- Guests staying in Kihei, Wailea, or Makena who want a full-day beach activity close to their resort
- Anyone who wants the most accessible wave-riding experience with no surfing skills required
- Guests who are less confident in the water and want a board for flotation support while snorkeling or swimming
- Anyone looking for maximum beach fun per dollar, because a boogie board keeps people entertained for hours
- Guests who want a real board that performs rather than a cheap fabric-covered styrofoam alternative

Rental Care and Responsibility
⚠️ Renters are responsible for the board during the rental period. Damage beyond normal wear may result in additional charges.
⚠️ Always attach the wrist leash before entering the surf. A loose board in breaking waves can injure other swimmers.
⚠️ Be aware of other swimmers and surfers in the water. Give plenty of space when riding waves toward shore.
⚠️ Do not use boogie boards in rocky areas or on beaches with dangerous shore break.
⚠️ Always watch the waves from a safe distance for at least 10-15 minutes before entering. Large waves can come in sets with that amount of time in between.
⚠️ Rinse the board with fresh water before returning it.
Pro Tips from Your Fun Specialists
- Kamaole Beach Park I is right across the street from our shop. Pick up your board and walk straight to the water.
- Always attach the wrist leash before entering the surf. It keeps the board with you and keeps it from hitting other swimmers.
- Lie flat on the board with your weight slightly forward and kick when a wave picks you up. The slick bottom will do the rest.
- South swell days, especially summer afternoons, deliver the best shore break for boogie boarding at the Kamaole parks.
- The board works as a snorkel flotation device too. Hold the front edge and kick gently with your fins to cover the reef without using your arms.
- Reef-safe sunscreen is required on all Hawaiian beaches. Apply before heading out.
- Grab a cooler rental from our shop to keep drinks cold while you’re riding waves all day.
FAQ: Frequently Asked Questions About Boogie Board Rentals in Kihei
What makes your boogie boards better than the ones at convenience stores?
The boards sold at convenience and grocery stores are typically thin styrofoam covered in fabric. They slow down in the water, flex excessively, and often crack or break on the first real wave. Our boards are premium slick-bottom bodyboards with a stringer interior for rigidity. The smooth underside generates speed on the wave face and holds up to daily rental use without losing performance.
Do I need any experience to boogie board?
No experience is required. Boogie boarding is the most accessible wave-riding activity available. Most first-timers are successfully riding waves within minutes of getting in the water. Our staff can walk you through the basics at pickup.
What ages can boogie board?
We stock boards in sizes for small children through large adults. Young kids as small as 4 or 5 years old can enjoy boogie boarding in gentle shore break with adult supervision. The activity scales well across all ages and swimming abilities.
Can I use the boogie board for snorkeling?
Yes. The board provides flotation at the surface, which makes it useful for snorkelers who want extra support in the water. Hold the front of the board and kick with your fins to move across the reef without using your arms.
What is the best beach for boogie boarding near Kihei?
Kamaole Beach Park I is our top recommendation. It is directly across the street from our shop and delivers consistent shore break on south swell days. Kamaole II and III are also great options, and Keawakapu Beach is a quieter alternative just south of Kihei.
Can I pick up at one shop and return to the other?
Yes, absolutely. You can pick up from either our Kihei or Lahaina shop and return to either location.
What is the cancellation policy?
Auntie Snorkel offers free cancellation anytime prior to pickup. No deadline, no fees.

More About Boogie Boarding on Maui
Why Board Quality Matters More Than You Think
The experience of boogie boarding on a cheap fabric-covered styrofoam board versus a premium slick-bottom board is not subtle. Cheap boards drag through the water, flex in ways that kill your speed, and often crack on impact with a real wave. A slick-bottom board with a stringer interior holds its shape, generates speed down the wave face, and survives a full week of daily use without losing performance. When the board works the way it should, the whole activity becomes genuinely exciting rather than just okay.
Boogie Boarding vs. Skimboarding vs. Surfing
Surfing requires paddling out through breaking waves and significant balance practice before standing consistently. Skimboarding keeps you in shallow shorebreak and requires running speed and timing. Boogie boarding is the most accessible of the three: you wade into the surf, hold the board, and jump just in front of a wave to let it carry you toward shore. The skill ceiling is real for advanced riders, but the basics come within minutes for virtually anyone. It is the right choice for guests who want wave-riding fun without the steep learning curve of surfing.
A Board That Works for the Whole Beach Day
Most boogie boarders use their board in the surf and then set it aside when they are done. Our renters get more creative. The board works as a flotation device during snorkeling, a cushion to lie on when the sand is hot, and something for kids to play with when the waves flatten out. For families, a boogie board rental provides active entertainment from arrival to departure without requiring any organization or scheduled activity. It just works all day.
Kamaole Beach I Is Steps Away
One of the most practical things about renting a boogie board from Auntie Snorkel’s Kihei shop is that Kamaole Beach Park I is directly across the street. Pick up your board, cross the road, and you are in the surf in under five minutes. There is no drive, no parking search, and no long walk. For guests staying nearby, it is the most frictionless beach activity available on Maui’s South Side.
