The largest concentration of petroglyphs in the Pacific (over 3,000 carvings) is on the Big Island near the small town of Puako. Petroglyphs, or kii pohaku, are lava rock carvings etched into stone by Native Hawaiians.
Most of the petroglyphs on the Big Island were made thousands of years ago. No one really knows why the carvings were made or what they mean, although speculation abounds.
Another large collection of petroglyphs is within Volcanoes National Park.
Kona Boys draws our the inspiration for our surf, kayak, snorkel, and SUP glyphs from this ancient Hawaiian tradition.
