Aloha e Makai Ohana,

Whew, what a Hot and fun-filled Summer! The thermometer, as well as various events were on the rise! We started off with all the 6-man canoe regattas, stand-up & paddle board races, the M2M (Maui to Molokai) M2O (Molokai to Oahu) and the HCRA (Hawai-ian Canoe Racing Association) Championships at Keehi Lagoon, Oahu, this year hosted by Na Ohana O Na Hui Wa’a. (In the middle of this issue is the Official Program).

Before you know it, Summer will be ending with the Fishing and Dive Expo in September. Thereafter, wrapping it up with the Na Wahine O Ke Kai and the Molokai Hoe, races and then we are off into the Winter surf meets.I may have missed other unbeknownst ocean events. If so, email us at: [email protected] to advertise or make mention and even feature your event(s).

We are so blessed to be in our beautiful Hawaiian Islands, we wish you the “best of the rest of summer”. Malama Pono!

A hui hou,

Lono

hile Nahoku Keala may not have had a typical upbringing, the 23-year-old from Moloka‘i says she wouldn’t have changed a thing. Rather than growing up in a suburban cul-de-sac – playing video games or kickball – she grew up on a fishpond with her parents and three sisters, climbing mangroves and having coconut-husking competi-tions. They had no running water or electricity but still learned to enjoy the simple things in life and thus, spent most of their time near the water. These factors, as she points out, played a huge part in helping shape her into the

woman she is today. As an avid paddler and kayaker, Nahoku – or Hoku, for short – continues to chal-lenge herself, setting goal after goal until she reaches her personal best; all the while, keeping her kupuna close to her heart. But it is her ability to wear multiple hats that has perhaps best contributed to her success at such a young age. In addition to her extra curricular in the water, Hoku also models and goes to school full-time – soon graduating with not one but two degrees. In a one-on-one interview with Makai, we get to know this up-and-coming young water-woman from the Friendly Isle.

MOLOKA‘I MO’ BETTAH

MAKAI: What was it like to grow up on a fishpond on Moloka‘i?HOKU: My dad, Buddy Keala, is a fish-pond expert. Or “aquaculture consultant,” if we want to get technical. He’s been help-ing research, restore and upkeep fishponds for as long as I can remember. Fishponds are his passion and his connection to our ancestors’ way of life. Moloka‘i’s coastline is scattered with fishponds, and when I was eight years old, we moved to Ni‘aupala Fishpond, a 39-acre fishpond in Mana‘e (east end of Moloka‘i). My dad always told us that living on the pond was going to be an experience that we appreciated when we were older, and I agree with him one-hundred percent. It was one of the most humbling experiences in my life. Driving down a long driveway, our eyes set upon the house we were to live in: a single-room tiny house that sat on a con-crete foundation a couple feet above the pond, with no running water or electricity. On the pond, we had a generator and windmill for electricity. We also had a cool-er for a fridge, before eventually finding a fridge that ran on propane. Everyday life was an extra step. Yes, it was a pain most of the time, but the gift of being able to have a 39-acre fishpond as your front yard was truly priceless. (It gives me chicken skin) to think that hundreds of years ago, the fishpond that fed us also fed our kupuna. But that’s what it’s all about. That’s what my

dad wanted for us.

M: What part did the beach and ocean play in your upbringing?H: It pretty much went hand-in-hand with my upbringing. My sisters and I grew up on the fishpond, so our diets usually consisted of something from the ocean. If we weren’t on the fishpond, then we were at the beach.

M: What did you enjoy most about your growing up there?H: The lifestyle. I can’t really describe it. It’s just home.

M: How is it different than other islands or from O‘ahu, where you currently live?H: Every island is different; every island has pros and cons. I guess the biggest dif-ference that Moloka‘i has, is that you could leave for years and not visit, and the day you get back, everything looks the same. It is timeless.

PADDLING: A LIFELONG LOVE

M: How long have you been paddling and how did you learn?H: I have been paddling since I was about 8. But I have been OC1 paddling for about four years. My older sister started paddling, and my mom coached. I was the little sister that tagged along and got in the boat when someone was missing or when we paddled back after practice.

M: Which hui have you paddled for? H: Wa‘akapaemua, Kuku‘i o Moloka’i, Hui Lanakila and Hui Nalu.

M: What’s it like to be out on the open ocean?H: I think I only truly fell in love with

“...The lifestyle. I can’t really de-scribe it. It’s just home...”

speegle12.indd 1 2014-06-03 08:32 PMpaddling when I started one-manning. The feeling of being on the water, paddling, is a very hard thing to describe. The ocean itself is beautifully intimidating. Like us, it has emotions. Some days it’s calm like a lake, other days it whips back and forth with aggression and sometimes, the swells rise and fall playfully.

My mom always said, whenever you get into your boat or go into the ocean, just take a moment to ask for safety and sort of ask to be in the water, and I still do that. You are entering into the ocean’s domain, and it is a place to be respected. As for being on the water itself and paddling, it is always surreal for me. Being Hawaiian, I often think of my kupuna, using their bod-ies, working with the ocean to travel from one island to another.

M: How has paddling challenged you?H: I think the most challenging thing about paddling for me is reading the swells and connecting the bumps. I envy people who have that skill. Sometimes they fly by me so effortlessly. Since I started one-man-ning, I have gotten better at it but still have a long ways to go. Time in the water is the only way for me to improve, so that’s what I have been trying to do.

M: Is this something you can see yourself doing forever?H: Yes. I enjoy paddling not only because it has cultural significance to me but also because of the atmosphere. I enjoy the paddling community. Everyone knows everyone.

M: What has paddling taught you?H: Paddling has definitely taught me how

to be mentally strong and to keep pushing. When I first started one-manning, I wasn’t very good. I thought the transition from paddling to one-manning was going to be easier, but it’s so different. My first season, I flipped all the time; lost hats and glasses and water bottles, paddled on one side most of the race because I was scared to flip, came in last in some of the races. When I first started, the goal was to fin-ish the race – and maybe not flip or come in last place. Then the goal was to do the longer races, and then push myself to beat a certain time. Then pushing myself to beat a certain person. I was always behind, looking at the fast elite women pulling away in the distance. Eventually, my goal became to close that gap. I want to be one of those women that people recognize. I want to be in that top bracket.

M: Most memorable padding race?H: My most memorable paddling race was my first Moloka‘i Solo Race in 2013. The conditions were not in our favor. I remem-ber people dropping out of the race that week, that weekend, that morning and then during the race. I almost thought about dropping out, too, but my goal was to do the solo by 21 years old. I was so scared that I wouldn’t last be-cause I wasn’t sure how my body was going

Page 12: ISLAND NATIVE NAHOKU KEALA - Makai Hawaii€¦ · island native naHokU keala 08 race aroUnd tHe Hat 2014 28 makai ocean lifestyle magazine JUne/JUly2014 15 2014 HCRA STATE CHAMPIONSHIP

to handle paddling 32 miles in those kinds of conditions. When you are paddling for that long, you have so much time to reflect, but you also have so much time to let frustration get to you. You go through so many emotions crossing the channel alone: excitement, regret, confusion – as to why you are putting your body through it – and fear that you won’t make it. It was such a great grueling experience, and my mom was there to watch the whole thing on my escort, which was super special for me.

KAYAKING: A REWARDING CHALLENGE

M: How did you get into kayaking? What’s challenging about it?H: One of my friends wanted to kayak with me and I said, “Sure, why not? It will be good cross-training for paddling season.” (I like that) your balance improves dramatically when you kayak, which helps in the surf for paddling. Balancing, tech-nique, and focusing (are most challenging). You can never “zone out.”

M: What’s your biggest accomplishment in kayaking?H: My biggest accomplishment in kayaking was in high school; being able to practice at the Olympic Training Center in Chula Vista, CA. It was a very good experi-ence to see how the top kayakers train and compete.

M: Most memorable moment in kayaking?H: Maybe not a good memory but flipping in the Ala Wai would be my most memo-rable moment. We would have morning practice, and I’m not a morning person, so I would get into my kayak around 5:45 in the morning, body still tired, and whoops….flip. Sprint kayak boats fill up with water when you flip, so you have to swim it to the side, pour out the water and get back in. It sucked, but that’s the most-memorable moment.

LIFE: AS IT STANDS

M: Who are your role models? H: In life: My older sister Pili. She has always been a hard worker, always man-aged her time wisely and kept her goals in reach. I always looked up to her academi-cally because she would manage to get 4.0’s in high school and continued to do so in college. That pushed me to try to be aca-demically successful. Now that she is done with school, she continues to be my role model…being happy. Doing things and surrounding yourself with people or things

that make you happy are important, and my sister has done just that. In paddling: Kai (Firebreathingsharp-pointytalons) Chong. I met him when I was a sophomore kayaking, and he was the guy that everyone on the team talked about: “Kai’s so fast!” “I wish I could be as fast as him!” “What do they feed him?!” He was that up-and-coming high-schooler. I definitely see him as a role model because he is someone my age who has earned his success and continues to do so. I look up to him, even though I’m taller haha.

M: How else do you get in the water? H: I just started stand-up paddling. Like JUST started. So I’ll go out maybe once a week for a little workout. I like the chal-lenge of having to balance and steer and move forward and back and using the swells. But that is also what is the most difficult part about it. I did a stand-up race recently (Da Hui Stand Up Race) and really enjoyed myself, even though my legs were shaky, and I was sore for a couple of days. Perhaps I’ve found another water sport I enjoy.

M: What’s one thing you want people to know about you?H: I am graduating this Fall with two majors: Hawaiian Language and Dental Hy-giene. I don’t like to toot my own horn, but

I have great respect for student athletes. You have to schedule your time down to a “T” because there is no time for everything you want to do if you don’t. Training for the solo, while being a full-time student with two majors is a hard thing to do, but it’s possible. I wanted to add this in, not to brag, but to encourage anyone who doesn’t think they can paddle while going to school. You can do it, but your schedule will be very full. Bottom line is: if you care about something enough, you will make time for it. That is true in all aspects of life, whether it’s sports, school, friends, family, boyfriends…it’s all relative.

But did you know that you could insure your one man canoe (OC-1) or (OC-2) or surf ski? When you break such an expen-sive and dear to your heart, piece or equip-ment, it is really hard explaining the feeling of what just happened. But it does happen, and more often than you know it. To repair your boat to its former state, it is very costly to repair, but it can be done. But the burden of worrying about how you can afford such a repair can be solved. For less than forty dollars ($40) you can have your canoe covered for a whole year! There is hope for a broken canoe, check to see if your insurance agent covers this, or you can contact Kris Speegle, at (808) 969-7767 and he can take care of your canoe policy, quickly, and easy to keep your boat “wet”.

Theres Hope For Your Broken Canoe!

You can insure your car, your house, you can even insure your life!

Aloha and welcome to the 2014 HCRA State Championship.

It is my pleasure to welcome you to Keehi Lagoon for the 64th annual HCRA State Championship. We are pleased to be here on Oahu, "The Gathering Place," and I would like to thank our host, Na Ohana O Na Hui Waa, and its member clubs as they celebrate Hui Waa's 40th anniversary as an association. In 1991 this section of Keehi Lagoon Park was dedi-cated to Outrigger canoe paddling, Hawaii's official state team sport. Located within Keehi Lagoon is the cultur-ally significant Mokauea Island, the site of Oahu's last Hawaiian fishing village. Keehi Lagoon Park has served us well over the years as a championship venue and we are excited to be back here to watch the best crews and clubs from across the state compete for individual crew and team titles in the four divisions. Congratulations and best wishes to all of the pad-dlers who have the privilege of representing their club in today's state championship race. Mahalo to all of the coaches, parents, spouses and other members of our pad-dling ohana for your continued support of the paddlers and the sport of outrigger canoe paddling. Mahalo to the Office of Hawaiian Affairs, one of our enduring major sponsors; joining them as a major spon-sor is Hawaii Independent Energy dba Tesoro. Welcome and mahalo to Mercedes-Benz of Honolulu for their sponsorship. We also thank our other sponsors, and all of the people who make an event of this magnitude possible: the City and County of Honolulu Depart-ment of Parks and Recreation, officials, race organizers, merchandise teams, vendors, merchants, advertisers, and media personnel. Your efforts are greatly appreciated.

A hui hou.

WELCOME MESSAGENa ‘Ohana O Na Hui Wa’a welcomes you to Keehi Lagoon for the Hawaiian Canoe Racing Association State Championship Regatta. We are excited to host you this year, as our association celebrates our 40th Anniversary.

Aloha Mai Kakou,

Welcome to Keehi Lagoon – home to this year’s Hawai-ian Canoe Racing Association State Championship Regatta. As Na Ohana O Na Hui Wa’a celebrates 40 years, we are excited to include you as part of our Ohana. With 19 mem-ber clubs, Hui Wa’a is well represented here at our State Championship regatta. Hawaiian Outrigger Canoe Paddling is our state sport and through all of your hard work with your clubs and pad-dlers, we are able to gather today to celebrate as an entire state. Canoe paddling has always been important in my life, but most recently, as I get older, I find that it is an avenue that allows me to give back to others. Physically getting in a canoe is not as easy as it was when I was 20, but I still love every bit of it. Although I grumble about my leg going numb, that the canoes are too skinny, and the paddles are too light, I am reminded that I should be grateful that I was raised and taught where all those changes came from. The kids in our canoes won’t know that the seats were wider then, that paddles were all wood, heavy and round, and that canoes were tied up to a tree or a concrete pillar. Some may never know what it feels like to pull a tire or a bucket. I am now, even more dedicated to the sport than I was in the past. I am sure that each one of you can recall such vivid memories as I have described. The main point is that we have a tradition to remember, a culture to support and a legacy to move forward. Mahalo to all who love this sport unconditionally and do all they can to support its values and traditions. I truly admire your efforts. On behalf of Hui Wa’a, we would like to send a very fond aloha to all the paddlers, coaches, parents, officials, supporters, and sponsors for their contributions to the sport of Hawaiian outrigger canoe paddling.

Be safe and have an awesome race.

If your garage has become a glorified storage shed, here are 4 steps to clean it out.

1. Empty it. Take everything out and, starting with the first item you remove, sort each one into piles that will: 1. stay in the garage, 2. be put elsewhere in the house, 3. go into a garage sale, or 4. get thrown out. 2. Clean it. When the garage is completely empty, use a shop vac. Then hose the floor with the nozzle on its most power-ful setting. Start at the back and spray into the driveway. Push pooled water out with a broom. Leave the door open and let the place dry.

3. Add storage units. Look at the pile of things going back into the garage and install the shelves, bins, drawer units, bike racks, and hooks you need to store them. Create a place for everything. Just your car and heavy equip-ment like a lawnmower should take up floor space.

4. Bring in only what's necessary. Put back the things that truly need to be there. Be merciless. If you think "maybe I'll want this someday," that item should be thrown out or go into the garage sale. Make sure things you use often, such as tools, are more accessible than seasonal items, such as holiday decorations.

9 WAYS TO CLEAN UP AT A GARAGE SALE

After you clean out your garage, you can then clean up by having a garage sale.

1. Schedule smart. June through October is the best time. A one-day sale over 5 or 6 hours is enough to get rid of lots of stuff and let shoppers know they have limited time.

2. Advertise. Take out a classified ad in the local paper and on Craigslist. A few days before the sale, post several large signs around the neighborhood. Make all signs the same color and be brief: "Garage Sale (or Yard or Tag Sale), day, date, hours, street address, and an arrow pointing to your home. Make sure to catch traffic

in both directions and put a sign at your driveway.

3. Prep the merchandise. Clean items, press clothes, wash glasses, china, etc. Put a circle sticker with a price on each item. Mark cracked or chipped items "as is," so buyers know you've priced it with the condition in mind. Group items for adults vs. children, and don't forget shoppers looking for tools, sports and camping gear, electronics, used tires, and lawn equipment.

4. Price to sell. This is a garage sale, not an estate sale. Generally, price items for $5 or less, most for $1 or $2. Price more expensive items at 1/2 to 1/3 of the retail cost if in good condition. Leave room for haggling, setting prices 20%–30% above what you'd like.

5. Have a free pile. Nothing stops people like the word "free" and many will stay and buy.6. Take care with the layout. Arrange tables so people have room to pass. To avoid theft, rope off the sale area, put the pay-ment table at the exit, and have a family member or friend help out. 7. Be ready with change. Get lots of ones, fives, and coins, and carry them in a carpenter's apron or fanny pack. Have bags or boxes available.

8. Offer refreshments. Sell lemonade, snacks, and baked goods–you'll make some money and people will stick around longer.

9. Get rid of it all. Take any reasonable offer. In the last hour, have a "fill a bag for $1" deal. Put whatever doesn't sell out on the curb for free, throw it out, or donate it.

““The story of how the “Power of the People” was able to mobilize in just nine months to stop the Sale of Public Land to build luxury residential highrises by rallying the support of the legislators to enact a law prohibiting the sale of public land and banning all residential development in Kaka’ako Makai. This law stands today, protecting this last public ocean-front land from becoming another Waikiki to be enjoyed by all of the People of Hawaii in perpetuity.”

...More instruction...

Mokauea is a modest 10 acre triangular shaped island which lies only ¼ mile off shore from the Sand Island Boat harbor. The island is only one of only two, historic, traditional fishing villages left in the State of Hawaii. It is the last one on Oahu. When our Intensive Learning Center staff were invited onto the island, I jumped at the chance to visit. Our adventure began with a brief synopsis of Mokauea by our tour guide Kehaulani, followed by instruction of our 6-man and double-hull canoe paddle to the island. When we arrived, we were greeted with Aloha by Aunty Joni, a well known matriarch there.

Both Kehau and Aunty Joni educated us on the background, history, humble island living, resident sea creatures, how opala (trash) impacts the environment, recycling and preservation of our resources. I left Mokauea with a deeper sense of awareness, respect and gratitude for Kehau, Aunty Joni and the Mokaueans who like our kupuna (ancestors) cared for the land and ocean for our keiki (chil-dren). Let‘s Malama Pono (take care) and do our part for our future and keiki. You can help make a difference by picking up your opala around you. M. Lee-Goo
