Kaʻelemakule

Kaʻelemakule is an 1800's vintage fishing  canoe that was salvaged and restored in the 1990's.  Under the care of the Nakoa Foundation, Kaʻelemakule travels to cultural festivals and school presentations that explain the traditional Hawaiian Canoe Culture.  In 2015 the Nakoa Foundation and the Ala Kahakai Trail Association commissioned the construction of four fiber glass canoes in the form of Kaʻelemakule. Molded and constructed by Odie of Pure Paddles, these new fiberglass canoes are now the main stay of the Nā Peʻa canoe fleet.
