Focus SUP Hawaii Ventura

"This was such a fun experience. None of us had stand up paddle board experience but Kathrin was really good in making us feel comfortable with the board before we started the yoga session. We first had to paddle to a calm area within the bay so we got used to the board standing and sitting on it. The yoga session was a lot of fun and it was really cool to see how much you feel confident to do yoga on it after such a short time. We can highly recommend Kathrin’s classes. She is super nice and doesn’t pressure you to do something you are not comfortable with. Danke Kathrin!!"

"I’ve wanted to paddle board since moving to Ventura in 2019 and finally went out on an excursion with Focus SUP in November. Kathrin was such an inspiring and calming instructor and Dave was so good at matching people with their boards and helping us get on and off. Would highly recommend. They sell some really cool products too."

"Absolutely great experience. I wanted to get my wife a paddleboard for Christmas but knew very little about them. My wife is not a big person and I was worried she would not be able to carry the board from her car to the dock. Dave made the buying experience a breeze. Not only did I learn about the lighter option of composite board vs the traditional fiberglass ones, but also was able to have my wife's paddle matched exactly to her needs and height. This was a great experience and the top notch board she has now will last forever. Thanks Dave."

"Our granddaughter had an amazing private Paddleboard lesson with Kathrin, especially for a first-time, 13 year-old, trying a new sport! Kathrin was patient and intuitive, and tailored her instruction to our granddaughter’s ability level. Well before the end of the lesson, our granddaughter was able to paddle well enough to get closeups of the sea lions basking in the sun. What a great experience that has inspired a new, life-long interest. I highly recommend Kathrin to anyone new to the sport."

"I'm new to the SUP recreational activity and had been wanting to try it for years. Luckily, I moved into the Ventura Harbor area and came across Dave and Kathrin at the Focus SUP Hawaii location in Ventura, CA. They are both making as they helped introduce me to the various styles and lengths of boards, and took me into the harbor for a safety and familiarization workshop. After the workshop, they helped fit me with a board for my size and weight, we worked out a great deal, and as they say, the rest is history in the making! Thanks Dave and Kathrin - this is a must visit shop!"
