The name of the fish was Uhumakaikai.10 They toiled on, but it could not be entrapped; for which reason they came back. As they were paddling back Kawelo observed a large gathering of men and women and questioned the fisherman: “What is that assembly for?” “It is a surf-riding crowd. But there is only one who is unparalleled; it is a young woman. She is never wet by the surf.” The first asked, “What is the name?” The latter replied, “Kanewahineikiaoha.”11 And when he had memorized the name of the young woman they paddled for and disembarked at the landing where the friend, Kamalama, then stood in waiting. Said he to his friend: “Let us attend the surf-riding sport of the crowd.” To which the latter consented.
