Where to Buy Pickleball Gear on Oʻahu: On Point Sports
If you want to hold a paddle before buying it instead of ordering online, On Point Sports in Waipahu is one of Oʻahu’s established local racquet-sport stores. The shop carries pickleball paddles, court shoes, apparel, accessories, and a current paddle demo program.

The current hours and contact information above come directly from On Point Sports Hawaii's website. Holiday hours can differ, so I would still check the shop if you are driving across the island for a specific item.
The Paddle Demo Program Is the Biggest Advantage
One of the best reasons to buy a paddle locally is being able to try it first. On Point's current official demo policy is:
- $5 per paddle for a 3-day demo period.
- You can demo up to four racquets or paddles at a time.
- Demo fees can be applied toward a new racquet or paddle purchase, up to $20 in credit.
- The purchase credit is valid for 30 days from the demo start date.
- The current policy lists a $5-per-day, per-item late fee; on the fifth day, the full retail price of an unreturned demo can be charged.
That is more precise than the older version of this article, which made the demo credit sound unlimited. The current official policy caps the applied credit at $20.
What Pickleball Gear Does On Point Sports Carry?
Why Demoing a Paddle Matters
Paddle specifications can help narrow down your choices, but two paddles with similar weight and shape can still feel very different once you actually hit with them. The grip, swing weight, balance, face response, sweet spot, and sound can all affect whether you enjoy using it.
If you already know what you want, buying online can be convenient. If you are deciding between several models, a local demo can save you from buying a paddle based only on marketing descriptions.
What About Pickleball Shoes?
A court shoe is generally a better fit for pickleball than a running shoe because pickleball requires repeated lateral movement, stopping, and changing direction. On Point carries tennis/pickleball court footwear, so you can try sizing in person instead of guessing online.
Do not assume one brand or model will be right for everyone. Width, cushioning, outsole durability, weight, and ankle/heel fit matter more than the logo.
Training Gear & Other Equipment
The store also carries general racquet-sport accessories and equipment. If you need a portable net, balls, grips, training accessories, or a particular coaching item, call first because inventory changes more quickly than store hours.
On Point's official website describes the business as serving the entire island of Oʻahu and specializing particularly in tennis and pickleball.
Is On Point Sports Worth the Drive?
If you live in Central or Leeward Oʻahu, it is a convenient local option. For town players, the strongest reason to make the trip is the ability to compare gear in person and use the demo program rather than buying a paddle blind.
The store is also only a few minutes from the Patsy T. Mink Central Oʻahu Regional Park tennis complex, so the location makes sense for racquet-sport players already traveling through the area.
Before You Go
- Check current hours if you are visiting on a holiday.
- Call ahead if you want a specific paddle, shoe size, or brand.
- Ask which demo paddles are currently available.
- Return demos on time so you do not incur the current late fees.
