Koa |
KU KOA MANUTEA, "White bird, goes swiftly to its point of destination" hewn from a Koa tree near Kaupo, Maui; carved by Leon "Fafa" Toofa and KCC members; blessed 2001. Click here to see a video of Ku Koa Manutea being cut and brought down Haleakala.
Special Care is needed when handling Ku Koa Manutea
- Always lift from the bottom - NEVER by the seats
- Carry completely into the water - NEVER drag on sand
- Do not sit on mo`o (gunwales)
- Remove watches and jewelry before entry
- Support your weight with your hands on the mo`o
- Do not stand on the bottom of the wa`a
In 2013, Ku Koa Manutea underwent the waterlining process mandated by HCRA. As a result, significant work to split the hull and add material to increase width in some areas was accomplished. The work was completed in time for the 2013 State Championships. Refinished 2015.
