What does koa puna mean

Can have several meanings. Falco an assumed name was undercover in the Vagos motorcycle gang in Victorville, Calif. After a stint in witness protection, he returned to life as an informant infiltrating two gangs in Virginia, the Mongols and the Outlaws, in Mauka means inland or toward the mountain, and makai means toward the ocean.

This is also known as the 3 per cent patch. This patch basically indicates that the owner of this patch is still awaiting the approval from the motorcycle club of choice in order to become a distinguished member of the club. What a guy! See what I mean about friendly? Yeah, I was down to do some diving with my lady to see that! The morning of the ride we met up at a local ride stop. It was a great way to start da am.

Shoots is sure or yea. Pau is done. So on and so on, there are tons of words that the locals say that you catch onto real quick. So anyway… back to my story. We were eating breakfast and I had been waiting to hear back from the birthday boy on news of my bike. Come to find out he was really hung over from his B-day and kinda forgot about the whole bike thing. So, one of the other guys tony said I could use his bike and he would ride in the chase car. I was so honored he let me borrow his bike and soon enough we were on our way.

The air just smells incredible, the ocean and the views you get to see are unlike anything you have ever seen. The thing I like about riding in Hawaii it that is so different from riding in California, are the speed limits and how other cars drive.

For the most part on the tour of the big island the average speed is about mph. And really, people stick to it there. You know the normal mentality we have, see a cop, slow down. Just keep it mellow like everyone else and you will be just fine.

Our ride around the bike island started in Kailua-Kona right across the street from the airport on Hwy We were told that when Kamehameha landed in Hilo by canoe, he instructed one of his followers to hold the canoe so it would not drift away.

Later, when the follower came to his assistance, Kamehameha was grateful for the help but angry that he had left the canoe unattended as it might have drifted away. The man showed Kamehameha that he had twisted cordage to hold the canoe. Since they were in Hilo, that particular type of braid was referred to as Hilo. We then travel to Puna. This is the name of the district. We think Puna, in this case, has the first definition. Since the aquifer in Puna has so much water and there are numerous springs, Puna probably reflects the number of springs in the area.

According to Pukui, in the olden days, people would stick bracts of hala into the thatching of their houses to bring some of the fragrance indoors.

You are probably familiar with lau hala , the pandanus leaves which are used to make hats, mats and other plaited things. The bracts were dried and torn into very narrow strips before plaiting.
