3Not what I expected
By Ian
Before I purchased this adjustable Pohaku Stick, I asked my friend if I could borrow his "Bamboo Kahuna Big Stick".

He had the original stick with the dougnut (or wheel) shaped rubbers at the end. The feel of that stick was smooth since the soft rubber and the wood absorbed a lot of the impact when contacting concrete or asphalt. I was able to push throughout the entire movement. I also rode for 3 hours non-stop without any form of pain in my joints.

I decided to buy my own stick, and eventually I bought this one. I was expecting the Pohaku to give a similar feel but sadly it didn't. I started riding it but right away I noticed it wasn't the same. The new volcanized rubber on the blade was pretty hard and did not absorb impacts as well as the other rubber doughnuts. In addition, the hollow metal stick didn't absorb the impact either and transfered the shock to my joints. I am only 18 years old, but within 30 minutes, my elbow joints were starting to really hurt; I couldnt ride anymore for a few days after the first use. On the second use, the metal adjustable pin broke. I called Kahuna Creations and they offered to quickly ship 2 metal adjustable pins; instead I kindly refused and chose to return this to buy a Bamboo Kahuna Big Stick.

CONS: Read the above.

PROS: The stick is very light-weight, allowing you to go on for long periods of time. The blade design also makes it harder for it to get in the path of the longboard, whereas the doughnuts would sometimes get in the way and cause you to stop very quickly.

NEUT: Every push had a "clink" and the holes in the stick made cool whistling sounds on windy days.

**Remember I am not trying to put down Kahuna Creations or their products, I am only giving you my experience with this stick**
**I actually love Kahuna Creations and have now purchased a Bamboo Kahuna Big Stick with the doughnut shaped rubbers**
**This was used in a flat coastal area without hills**

4Big Stick Fun
By Tim
Purchased this as a Christmas gift for my son. He wanted to try using a push stick with his long board. The adjustable aluminum construction is sturdy, and he's been using it weekly in the winter in Michigan. I guess he likes it! It has a different design for the pushpad, but it isn't showing much sign of wear yet, and it is replacable.
