Making canoes for exercise available to individuals who are overweight

[Aluli:]
We had built a canoe for the 400-pounders—rather than sitting in the gunnels, they sat on top. They had to reach down even longer and further, so we had to make the paddles—so that worked, and it’s still working. You know, we have a couple teams going out and just enjoying the ocean and getting that exercise and not being competitive, but maybe they will. Maybe there will be a special class for the over-400, over-300 rather than the age groups.
