Manu of Ku was a gift to the members of the Outrigger Canoe Club from long-time employee Domie Gose. Domie was given a koa log from the Big Island by past president Karl Heyer IV. The log was three feet long, five inches wide and had a thickness of 2.5 feet. After 150 hours of cutting, shaping, grinding, chiseling, sanding and finishing, this Ali'i warrior canoe emerged, complete with sails and paddles.
