“Humuhumunukunukuāpuaʻa”

When I moved to Hawai‘i in 1985, the Humuhumunukunukuapua‘a had just been named the state fish. It was a 5-year trial, and when it ended in 1990… everyone forgot about it.
In 2006 Hawai‘i finally realized it had been fish-less for years — and the Humu was made official for good.
Funny enough, it was one of the first Hawaiian words I ever memorized.

Description

“Humuhumunukunukuāpuaʻa”

Original art on hand shaped Paulownia wood Alaia. The board was painted using acrylic paints and inks on top of the finished wood and finished with an acrylic varnish using a technique that the artist developed in the mid eighties.

70″ x 17 x 1.5″ comes with easy to install steel hanging brackets, and includes free shipping.

Although this Alaia is shape is meant to be functional, it is not meant to be surfed on, but to be displayed indoors as an art piece, as with any other art piece it is best to keep it away from sunlight.
