Honu: lightweight paddleboards for easy waterfront recreation
Honu designs inflatable paddleboards for all-round paddling, touring and surf use. Their packability and low weight make them appealing to people who want a board they can store between outings and enjoy on suitable water nearby.
Make a paddle part of the day
A board offers a simple way to add exercise or exploration to time by the water. Honu's range lets paddlers choose versatile recreational shapes or more focused designs for touring and surfing. The purchase can follow the activity rather than assuming one board suits every interest.
We like the attention to how the boards feel when used. Woven reinforcement supports construction aimed at stiffness without unnecessary weight, while lower-profile designs within the range bring the paddler closer to the water. Portability is backed by an interest in paddling performance.
Australian design and useful accessories
Honu began in Bondi in 2001 and continues designing in Sydney. Paddles, pumps, bags and fins are available alongside the boards, helping owners put together the setup they need.
We feature Honu because waterfront living is also about the small outings that fit into everyday life. A portable board gives owners another way to enjoy a suitable launch and nearby water, with different designs to suit how they like to paddle.
