Later the disks were made of stone, but still called `ulumaika As a test of strength, the players roll the stone discs or maika as far as possible down a smooth course on the playing field As a demonstration of skill or accuracy, contestants roll the maika between two stakes on a smooth, grassy playfield. The stakes may be placed 8 to 10 inches apart These conditions may be varied according to the age and skill of the players. The set up should be difficult enough to challenge the player but not made impossible

- According to Pūku`i, the courses were strewn with kō flowers to make them suitably fast Made of māmane or uhiuhi wood Curved upward at the front such that they resemble the fore end of a canoe float Cross pieces lashed to the runners support a platform about 10 feet long but very narrow Rails are lashed to the outer ends of the crossbars held in position by pieces of split `ohe wrapped with kapa Slung between them is lauhala matting that formed the rider’s support After a running start, the rider threw his body onto the matting and clung to the rails as the sled proceeded downhill

- Boys and girls 9 years and older Children as young as 9 can make their own loop and ball Pala`ie consists of a flexible handle which ends in a loop and a ball, slightly larger than the loop. The ball is attached to the handle by a cord long enough to allow it to swing onto the loop The object of the game is not merely to catch the ball in the loop, though that may provide enjoyment for younger children. The objective was often to see who could go the longest without missing the loop. The real challenge comes from holding the handle horizontally and swinging the ball from the bottom of the loop to the top by describing a complete circle with the ball. Made from nī`au – freshly cut coconut leaf midribs that are braided together to produce a flat, firm handle for the pala`ie The ball is made from the `a`a niu or scraps of kapa – which forms at the base of the coconut leaf and is attached to the handle by aho (cordage)
