NGARU
Mangaian Hero God
Inventor of the surfboard
Grandson of Moko, he challenged Tumuitearetoka, the King of Sharks, to catch him on his new board of wave-riding. The frustrated fish couldn’t even get close.
Being very black and hairless Ngaru used lime as a skin lotion, and Tangaroa made him some nice wavy locks of hair. A real surfer dude.
