Makahiki Games: ʻUlu Maika

Ulu maika was an ancient Hawaiian sport with some similarities to bowling. This traditional pastime was played with a few variations, all entailing rolling a small disk-shaped stone down a specially prepared path called the kahuamaika (literally “place of maika”). In the most common variant, two competitors would take turns rolling an ulu (stone) down the path, each attempting to roll theirs farther than their opponent’s. Meet at Paeahu Terrace.
