Mano is named after his Aumakua (guardian spirit), the shark. It is a great honor in Hawaii to have the shark as your Aumakua. The shark evokes leadership, strength, and courage. Mano always feels protected when he surfs because he knows that his Aumakua is watching over him. To honor his Aumakua, Mano wears a black necklace with a shark tooth pendant around his neck. Like all the other, cool Menehune surfer boys Mano also has a small, round, gold colored earring in his left ear.

Mano (Shark) Birthdate: Malaki 19th, 2009 (03/19/2009) Mano (Shark) is a Menehune he’e nalu (surfer) boy. Mano loves the Pacific Ocean and the surf is his greatest teacher. Mano knows that every wave presents a challenge of going with its flow. Mano watches the waves, feels them inside, and understands them with his mind. Surfing is magical; it has become his way of life. When the surf is up, Mano can’t wait to get into the ocean. His heart dances with hopupu (excitement) as he eagerly anticipates the challenges of the great waves. Mano flies along the sea, riding the waves with focus and balance, finding the perfect attitude between tension and flexibility. It is the very best feeling in the world. |

Mano carries the spiritual power of Hawaii. |
|
Mano and his Kupua Kane (grandfather) made the olo (surfboard) together. First they chose the right Hawaiian Wiliwili Tree for the board. Before cutting the tree, they faced towards the sea and said a prayer of thanks for the wood they would use. They honored the spirit of the tree by burying a fish beneath it. His wooden olo is Mano’s most treasured possession. He always carries it with him, even when he goes to sleep. |
