Each week during the school year, Hale Kuamoʻo, the University of Hawaiʻi at Hilo’s Hawaiian Language Center, posts a new “Word of the Week” as part of a series of short videos called Moʻohua.

Once a week, a single ʻōlelo Hawaiʻi (Hawaiian language) word is introduced along with its meaning and an example sentence of its usage.

This week’s word is heʻe nalu, meaning to ride a surfboard, surfing, or surf rider.

ʻAnoʻai ke aloha! Eia mai ʻo Kamaka Frasco ke hoʻolaha aku nei i ka huaʻōlelo o ka pule, ʻo “heʻe nalu.” ʻIke paha ʻoe pehea e heʻe nalu ai?
