Additional Information: |
Malia based on a mold taken from the classic koa Malia racing canoe of the 30s, (Malia is now owned by Waikiki Surf Club). If the colors are indeed black and white, as they appear, then it's possible that it was built by the Lokahi Canoe Club. Lokahi has not lost a canoe, however in the early years of the club they built and sold canoes to other clubs to raise funds. |
