Ahole Holua Complex

The Ahole Holua Complex is a holua slide located on Ahole Bay on the southwest side of the island of Hawaii. The slide was used in the Native Hawaiian sport of holua, in which upper-class men raced toboggans down lava slides covered in slippery grasses. Stone platforms along the side of the slide allowed spectators to watch the races. The slide consists of a 60 metres (200 ft) slope and a 23 metres (75 ft) runway; the slope and length of the slide indicate that the Native Hawaiians had developed advanced engineering skills. The slide is among the best-preserved holua slides in Hawaii.
