    (5) Hula is the term for the dance of the Hawaiian Islands.
    Hula was created to worship the gods through dance. Hula is the story being told, a pantonmia, at variance with singing and various instruments. The Hula Kahiko (old) is considered the old style in contrast to the melodic Hulas with typical Hawaiian songs accompanied by guitar or ukele, which is known as Hula A'uana. These are some styles of hula, which can change according to season and the island:

    Hula - A general term for all the dances of Hawaii

    Hula `ala` apapa - Hula which dramatizes an old story.

    Hue Hula - Hula that terminates an event, characterized by rapid movements of the hips. (6) Surf

    hee nalu in Hawaiian was discovered by Lieutenant James King in 1779. He described native Hawaiians riding a wood plank on the swells of Kealakekua Bay on Hawaiis Big Island. It was once a sport only reserved for alii (Hawaiian royalty), which is why surfing is often called the sport of kings. King Kamehameha I himself was known for his surfing ability.

    Hawaii is also the birthplace of big wave surfing. In the 1950s surfers began to ride the powerful winter waves of Makaha on Oahus west shore and Waimea Bay on the North Shore. Big wave season in Hawaii happens roughly between November and February on Hawaiis north shores. Some of the best surfing competitions in the world are held on Oahus North Shore in November and December including the Vans Triple Crown of Surfing (the Super Bowl of surfing). If youre planning to watch the pros in action, get to the North Shore early because traffic can be heavy.

    (7) Tattoos

    At first, the natives were tattooed on the skin to identify the tribe and the hierarchy (today many Hawaiians consider tattooing a sign of status and importance) and also was part of a rite of passage for warriors signifying the complete identification with the community. Most tattooed were those belonging to the royal family, followed by court officials and those who married someone belonging to royalty.
