Most cats avoid being wet if at all possible, but Hokule'a is an outlier. He loves to swim! His humans, Alessia and Pat, noticed he liked to join them in the shower, and he would stay outside in the rain, so they introduced him to the beach in Honolulu. It wasn't long before Hokule'a was in the water, and swimming quite well. Hokule'a soon took the short leap from swimming to riding the surfboard. It was serendipity that the rare water-loving cat lives in Hawaii, where the water is always warm and his family loves to surf. While humans can only hang ten, Hokule'a can hang twenty! But he prefers calm water. At least we think so. Alessia and Pat don't take him to the big waves, which is just as well. You can keep up with Hokule'a and his family at Instagram. -via Boing Boing
