Kaunolu, on the Hawaiian Island of Lana´i. Back in 1770, Kahekili, the last independent king of Maui and chief of four islands was famous for "lele kawa", which in English means leaping off high cliffs and entering the water feet first without a splash. In order to prove their courage and loyalty, Kahekili forced his warriors to follow his example, jumping of the leap into the Royal Waters at Kaunolu. One generation later, the Hawaiians practiced "lele kawa" in competition. Judgement was passed on the style of the dive and the amount of splash on entry. Thank you!
