Naihe was known as a champion athlete and [[surfing|surfer]] in his early life. Historical chants and stories describe his surfing skill at [[Kahaluʻu Bay|Kahalu{{okina}}u Bay]] and [[Holualoa Bay]], and of a contest in [[Hilo, Hawaii|Hilo]] when the other chiefs were envious of his abilities.<ref name=mele>{{cite book

The quiet was going to be interrupted with a year of great change in 1819 when King Kamehameha I died. [[Kaʻahumanu|Queen Ka{{okina}}ahumanu]] declared the old traditions known as [[Kapu (Hawaiian culture)|kapu]] were no longer in effect.
In November 1819 [[Keaoua Kekuaokalani]] gathered followers of the old ways to Ka{{okina}}awaloa and threatened a rebellion.
[[Hoapili]] and Naihe were sent to negotiate. Although Naihe respected the old traditions, he urged peace. At first, Keaoua sounded convinced, but the next morning the troops met in the [[Kuamoo Burials|battle of Kuamo{{okina}}o]], and the rebellion was violently put down.<ref>{{cite journal |
