The Olo, Olo board or Olo surfboard (pronounced: IPA: [Oulou], Hawaiian: Hawaiian pronunciation: [O'lo]) is a traditional long Hawaiian surfboard that was used by Hawaiian chieftains[1] for surfing. The Olo surfboard was the largest out of the three types of traditional surfboards (Alaia and Paipo board) that were used by the Hawaiian people. The Olo is twice as long as the modern surfing longboard, measuring up to 5.18 metres (17.0 ft) long, 16.5 inches wide and nearly 6 inches thick. The board was more than 76.20 kilograms (168.0 lb)[2] and was used for surfing large waves and even tsunamis, the boards were strictly meant for Hawaiian Chieftains and Kings.
