The Kahuna BigStick, a dryland paddle for your skateboard, is catching on in Honolulu, reports Wally Parcels of the Bikefactory in Kaka'ako, which sells a good number of them. In fact, human-powered wheeled vehicles of all kinds are a growth industry; look for a Waipio Bikefactory in the months to come. Check out Bikefactory's wares at 740 Ala Moana; 596-8844.
