Pualani
Meaning "Beautiful Flower". A Malia, one of two canoes
purchased from Hui Nalu Canoe Club in November. She was refurbished
by Coach Randy with a lot of help from our student paddlers and painted
by Ken Pua'a.

Manu O Ku
"Bird of the Warrior God" From the Hawaiian Catamaran mold,
she was a unique 5 seat sailing canoe with high gunnels. Word has
it she was the original modern sailing canoe and she still has the
mast step behind seat two. We shortened the manu hope and installed
what now is seat one. Modified and refurbished by Coach Randy and
painted by Ken Pua'a |
Ehukai
Meaning "Ocean Spray". A "mature" and distinguished Malia
on loan from the Joshua Makua family. With some elbow grease from
the paddlers and a stormy weekend of painting for Coach Randy and the Vars
boys, she now looks like one of our own. Thanks Josh, we don't know
what we would do without her.

Kaulu
Named for the notorious trickster god, Kaulu,
who, as legend has it, is responsible for making the swells small on the
windward side of Oahu. Built from the Walter Guild OC-4 mold
in September 2004 by Ken Pua'a.
She is on loan from Coach Randy.
