“Kailua Sailboards and kayaks began as a small company in Kailua town in the early eighties. As the first company in Kailua to offer kayaking, windsurfing and surfing, our staff has accumulated a great amount of experience and we try to pass this on to our customers. Our team of guides and instructors is constantly being trained and updated in an attempt to improve our services and as a result we are re-setting the bar for watersport guides in Hawaii.” Egmar Klemmer, Owner. |
