The most popular of Hawaiian pastimes is
surf swimming or heenalu. In this sport the
swimmers use a light Doard made of koa or
wili-wili. With these they swim out to sea,
diving under the rollers which they meet un-
til they reach the outer line of breakers; then.
lying flat on their boards, they balance them-
selves upon the forward slope of the highest
breaker, and ride with the speed of a race horse
toward the shore.
