Cippy recently launched his new canoe, featuring a fiberglass hand-carved Tiki honoring the War-God Kuka'ilimoku.

The canoe was was blessed by Dennis Salis, and is Captained by Aki - Larry Akiyama. Cip's vision was to offer excursions along the Waikiki shoreline, while sharing some of the stories and water-wisdom that has been passed through the generations by the Beachboys and Captains. In this spirit, he has dedicated the boat to the memory of those who came before - the Kamali'i O Ke Kai of Waikiki.

The names of these Legends are written along the gunnels of the canoe: Pops Steamboat Mokuahi, Leroy Ah Choy, Poo Kepo'o, Blue Makua Sr., Koko, Kimo Makua, Wilfred "Wata" Watanabe, Bobby Ah Choy, Chadwick "Dino" Ching, Sammy Steamboat Jr., Mike Myers, Dukie Kuahulu, and Mud Werner,

The following is a direct excerpt from the beach sign:
