As Laieikawai and her companion spied out for Kekalukaluokewa, they did not know which man the grandmother wanted.
Said Laieikawai to her nurse, "How are we to know the man whom my grandmother said was here?"
Her nurse said, "Better wait until they are through surfing, and the one who comes back without a board, he is the chief."
So they sat and waited.
Then, the surf riding ended and the surfers came back to shore.
Then they saw some men carrying the boards of the favorites, but the chief's board the favorites bore on their shoulders, and Kekalukaluokewa came without anything. So Laieikawai looked upon her husband.
When they had seen what they had come for, they returned to Paliuli and told their grandmother what they had seen.
Asked the grandmother, "Were you pleased with the man?"
"Yes," answered Laieikawai.
Said Waka, "To-morrow at daybreak Kekalukaluokewa goes surfing alone; at that time I will cover all the land of Puna with a mist, and in this mist I will send you on the wings of birds to meet Kekalukaluokewa without your being seen. When the mist clears, then all shall see you riding on the wave with Kekalukaluokewa; that is the time to give a kiss to the Kauai youth. So when you go out of the house, speak no word to anyone, man or woman, until you have given a kiss to Kekalukaluokewa, then you may speak to the others. After the surf riding, then I will send the birds and a mist over the land; that is the time for you to return with your husband to your house, become one flesh according to your wish."
