Pakaa

In Hawaiian mythology, Pakaʻa is the god of the wind and the inventor of the sail.Memoirs of the Bernice Pauahi Bishop Museum of Polynesian Ethnology and Natural History, Volume 5
In the legend, Pakaʻa was the child of a traveling royal named Kuanuʻuanu and a beautiful common woman named Laʻamaomao. Kuanu'uanu was summoned back to his leige Keawenuiaumi before Pakaʻa's birth. Paka'a was then raised by La'amaomao and her elder brother Maʻilou, who Pakaʻa was told was his father. Paka'a however questioned this, because despite his young age, he was much taller than Maʻilou. 
He then went traveling with the king of Kauaʻi, Pai'ea, to the other Hawaiian Islands, taking the Gord of Laʻamaomao, which gave him control over the many winds of Hawaii.
He later served under Keawenuiaumi and taught his son, Kuapakaʻa (or Ku-A-Pakaʻa) to follow in his footsteps.
