The meaning of the word huli is that your canoe turns over. This is a paddling term. There is an art to setting your canoe right again after a huli as quickly as possible, collecting the paddles, getting everyone back safely into the canoe and bailing the water out of the canoe. Huli practice is an essential part of learning how to paddle a canoe. This photo is of a huli practice taken at Kukui’ula Small Boat Harbor on Kauai, Hawaii.
