It appears the hard part of building the canoe is done! I put 2 layers of 4 oz cloth on the ama, cut the iakos to fit, and rigged up the rudder and pedals. We went to the canal to make sure the rig was right, and Kaile took off! She paddled under the bridge [...]

Kaile Kanu Update
I got some more work done this weekend… The deck is now glassed on with 2 layers of 4oz fiberglass cloth and WestSystem epoxy. I glued the carbon tubes into the ama and completed the final sanding. Now, I just need to do the final filling on the ama and glass it… Also on the [...]

It is called Pau Hana, because it was filmed on a Friday following an early dismissal from work (Aloha Friday). I start with my Pueo OC-1 at Kalama Beach [...]
Kaile Goes to Flat Island

We usually paddle on Kaelepulu Canal, but when the weather is good, we go out in Kailua Bay. This was Tuesday, 3 Feb, and the weather was awesome. She paddled the canoe all the [...]
Surfing Off Flat Island, Kailua
Surfing my Pueo OC-1 off of Flat Island in Kailua on Wed night, 28 January 2009. Perfect conditions for surf, too bad the wide angle cam flattens out the waves so much. They were much bigger than they appear… It’s kinda long, but enjoy anyway. Aloha. Pueo, OC-1, outrigger, Hawaii, Kailua
