Description
An outrigger canoe carved out of solid wood, perhaps koa, to which the actually portion known as the outrigger, the arm, is attached for balance.
Outrigger lashing is an artistic feat in itself. When I see different canoes around the island, I also see that many ways exist to secure the outrigger to the canoe. All of them are quite interesting variations. Sharon Mau, also living in Hawaii called the lashings... "wonderful detail of the aha rigging which keeps the 'iako (spars/boom) and the ama (float/outrigger) together."
