Wai Mauna SUP Tours and Paddleboard Rentals - Asheville 192 Riverside Drive, Asheville, NC 28806

"We did the long paddle boarding tour and had a lot of fun! It definitely gets a bit tiring, so if you’re not up for a couple hours of paddling, do the shorter one. Great views of the Biltmore estate. Easy meeting point and pickup was super timely. Staff was kindhearted and very knowledgeable!"

"I recently booked the 7-mile self-guided tour on the French Broad River with my cousin and we had a fantastic time! Kyle was friendly, responsive, and very informative from initial booking all the way through meeting us at the end of the stretch. He also gave us some fantastic local recommendations on the drive up to the starting point. It was a moderately challenging paddle, especially when the wind kicked up a bit, but absolutely doable for a first timer. Also excellent value for money given that it took us about 2.5 hours to complete the tour. Definitely recommend and will use again if I'm ever in one of their locations in the future!"

"I rented a SUP from Tom for 24 hours so that I could paddle with my friends who already owned their own boards. Tom was so helpful with the rental. It was easy to meet him for pickup and drop off, he gave us clear instructions on how to use the board and provided a two-way pump and life jacket for me to use as well. I really appreciated having the option to rent the SUP and use it for a whole day. He also gave us recommendations and guidance on the best spots to paddle in the area. I hope to come back and rent from Wai Mauna next time I’m in the area!"

"The beautiful 7-mile journey down the river past the Biltmore Estate was a perfect experience. We went early and were the only people on the river. Todd was professional, knowledgeable, and gave sound advice on how to stay safe on the river. We had a wonderful time and highly recommend Wai Mauna SUP Rentals and the 7-mile stretch of paddling. Thank you!"

"Wai Mauna was fantastic, from initially finding this company online to the day of paddling on the French Broad River. Our online booking was a cinch. The directions to the meetup location were straightforward and easy to follow. Our paddling instruction was catered to our skill level and experience. Equipment was in good working condition. The time spent on the river was fun, relaxing, and picturesque. If you’ve never paddled on the French Broad River, I highly recommend booking with this company and supporting a local business."
