About this word search
A huli is a capsize, and every crew practises turning the waka back over. The steerer sits in the last seat and steers with the paddle, a single waka can have a rudder, and many teams say a karakia before they race.
The grid is eighteen by eighteen and the words run in all eight directions. Life jacket and finish line are the longest at ten letters. Buoy, crew, iako, hull, huli and team have four. Start line and finish line both end in LINE, so check the start. Look for the J of life jacket and the Z of capsize.
Sort the words into paddling, the waka itself and racing, and see which group is biggest.
