Paddle Core Fitness

Matt is a great teacher – super friendly, patient, clear, and encouraging. My mom and I got a lesson from him before his 7am class and had a fantastic time. We found parking easily and Matt was right on time. Matt went over some basics on the shore and in minutes we were out on the water! He adapted the lesson to fit our level of comfort and ability and the hour flew by! Highly recommend!

I’ve wanted to stand-​up paddle board for years but the thought of lugging a board to the beach and finding a place to store the gear in our condo kept my interest deflated. When an acquaintance shared details on Matt Inouye’s Paddle Core Fitness (PCF) I was intrigued.
PCF meets on the Magic Island end of Ala Moana Beach. Matt and his team bring all the equipment you’ll need including the leash, paddle and board. All newbies take Matt’s introduction class to learn basic maneuvers and strokes. I had no idea how many ways you can use a paddle!
Once you complete the first class you’re free to join the regular workout classes. Again, PCF brings all the equipment and only for $ 15! I like that he customizes expectations according to proficiency levels. Matt is SO encouraging and makes everyone feel like they are progressing. It’s a real confidence booster to learn you can do planks, crunches and yoga in the water on your board!
It had been years since I had been to the beach. Since joining Matt’s class I find myself dreaming of my next splash! Raising a paddle high in the sky for Paddle Core Fitness!
