  2009_10_07_Hawaii-10655_6_7HDR.jpg - Heiau means temple in Hawai'ian There were many types of temple from those for healing to those for luck in fishing or harvest, in voyaging and even those for success in war (although those were dedicated through human sacrifice). This Heiau is the only one in Hawai'i that was dedicated to surfing. Surfing was only for men of the noble class (who surfed naked apparently). Any commoners caught surfing in this area were put to death. But times have changed. This young Hawai'ian is sitting in front of the offerings on the Heiau watching the tourists surf in the fading of the day.
