Blue Kahuna, agree it's tough to leave... but thanks for the virtual visit, even if only a while!

In the mural background, Dave’s added a couple of musicians and a surfer with alaia, or ancient Hawaiian surfboard (that’s the shortboard; you should see an olo, or longboard!)...

One can almost hear an ancient surf chant...

*Ku mai! Ku mai! Ka nalu nui mai Kahiki mai,
(Arise! Arise! You great surfs from Kahiki,)

Alo po`i pu! Ku mai ka pohuehue,
(The powerful curling waves! Arise with pohuehue,)

Hu! Kai ko`o loa.
(Well up, long raging surf.)*
