Nanakuli is a Hawaiian rescue cat that resides in Honolulu. He was adopted when he was a small, emaciated one-pound baby. Unfortunately, his eye became infected and he needed surgery to remove it.
The small cat needed regular washes after surgery, and his owners Alexandra Gomez and Krista Littleton were shocked when he seemed to like the water. They started teaching him to swim. He began riding waves at the age of six months.
Kuli, whose name means to look blind, but he has gone on to become an expert in riding the waves. Alexandra told the Daily Mail: “Although he started off life very weak and malnourished, he has grown very quickly into a very tolerant cat and loves the water.

The kitty was only 6 months old when he began riding waves.
Kuli first took to the water around a year ago when his owners Alexandra Gomez and Krista Littleton took him surfing.
He was first introduced to a longboard before his owners put him on a boogie board so he could sink his claws in it.
They bought a board that Kuli would be able to get out on the surf with them.
He was given the name Kuli, which means “to stare blind.”
“Before he could swim confidently on his own, Kuli always wore a life jacket”
