I had one of the first OC-1 canoes in Hilo in the early 90s. It was a converted surfski, added iako and ama. It worked. Shortly after I got one of John Puakea’s first demo OC-1s. Finally stepped up to one of Tiger’s early models. His shop was in back of Auto Body Hawaii.

Parked by this restaurant on Walua St. since the 80s it’s been Tom Bombadils, Tres Hombres (very good), empty for a while, Habanero (Big renovation), Kona Pasta Company, Now Walua Social Club. It’s Italian food. I can cook Italian better than most restaurants

Have always wondered why information on portions of my family wasnʻt that hard to find in genealogy and ancesrty. Turns out my ancestors were shop and land owners. Served in local government., were military officers and owned shares in merchant ships among other enterprises.
