Windward Paintball

A Woodsball Haven on the Windward Coast

Windward Paintball boasts the only dedicated woodsball field on the island, spanning over an acre of natural Hawaiian terrain. The playing area is a mix of wooded groves, open sandy stretches, grassy knolls, and thoughtfully placed wooden bunkers. This is not a sterile speedball court — it is a living landscape where players can duck behind trees, use the natural contours of the land for cover, and feel the rustle of the wind through the ironwood pines between matches. The field is set on the grounds of Bellows Air Force Station, a location that adds a quiet, almost nostalgic atmosphere to the experience. The layout is clean and well-maintained, with clear paths and freshly positioned bunkers that keep the gameplay fresh for returning visitors. It is the kind of place where both first-timers and seasoned paintballers can find their rhythm.

Scenarios That Bring the Action to Life

Beyond standard elimination games, Windward Paintball runs a variety of themed scenarios that keep the energy high. Capture the flag is a regular favorite, encouraging teamwork and quick strategic thinking across the wooded field. A zombie run scenario has also been a hit with groups, adding a playful, survival-horror twist to the afternoon. The staff is known for adapting the pace and style of play to suit the crowd, whether it is a group of friends looking for a casual day out or a more competitive bunch wanting to test their skills. The field's natural layout lends itself well to flanking maneuvers, ambushes, and coordinated pushes — making every game feel a little different from the last.

Gear Up for a Day in the Field

Windward Paintball offers a full range of rental equipment for those who do not have their own gear. The Standard Rental Kit includes a mechanical paintball gun, mask, and a pod pack with two pods. For younger players aged 12 and under, the Keiki Rental Kit provides a smaller gun option, a fully armored mask, a chest protector with a built-in pod pack, and armored half-fingered gloves. A Deluxe Rental Kit is also available for those who want an upgraded experience with an electric loader, a longer barrel, and a better mask. Paintballs are sold separately in standard and tactical grades. The standard grade offers bright, brittle shells that break easily on target, while the tactical grade features darker balls that are harder to spot in flight and offer improved accuracy. Coveralls, gloves, chest protectors, and individual components like hoppers, tanks, and pod packs can also be rented a la carte. Admission includes unlimited high-pressure air refills, so players can stay in the action all day.

Built for Celebrations and Team Adventures

Windward Paintball is a natural fit for birthdays, corporate team-building events, and group outings. The relaxed, family-friendly atmosphere makes it a great choice for celebrating a milestone — whether it is an 18th birthday, a Father's Day gathering, or a casual get-together with friends. The staff takes care of the logistics, from organizing games to ensuring safety protocols are followed, so the group can focus on having fun. The field is available for private bookings Monday through Friday by reservation, making it easy to schedule a exclusive event. Walk-on play is offered Saturdays, Sundays, and major holidays from 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM, with check-in from 9:00 AM to 2:30 PM. A recreation area and lounge space are available on-site, giving players a comfortable spot to rest, rehydrate, and share stories between rounds.

The People Behind the Paint

The heart of Windward Paintball is its crew. Regular visitors consistently mention Sean and Mike by name, praising their attentiveness, enthusiasm, and genuine care for every player who steps onto the field. Safety is a clear priority — the staff takes the time to brief beginners, check equipment, and keep the games running smoothly without ever losing the sense of fun. The field is locally owned and operated, and that personal touch shows. Whether it is shuttling players without base access from the gate, helping a nervous first-timer get comfortable with a marker, or refereeing a chaotic capture-the-flag match with a smile, the team makes sure everyone leaves with a good story to tell.
