How about Kanaloa? This is one unique Hawaiian tiki that I've not seen anyone carve here on TC. Check him out...

Name: Kanaloa
Origin: Hawaiian Islands
Artist: Unknown
Description: In ancient Hawaiian religion, KANALOA was a god of the ocean, and certain types of healing, crafts and other cultural practices. In legend he was a companion to KANE, the creator god. As such he also had the ability to cause freshwater springs to gush forth from solid rock when he struck it with his staff.

I want to try my hand at Kanaloa some day. It would be sweet to see the Conga version, though...

BTW, your Moai looks ultra-clean.
