Ki te haere koe atu i Ahia ki Poronihia Tata, tekau, neke atu ngā whakawhitinga i te wai, e 10–100 km te tawhiti o ia whakawhitinga. Nā te aha rā, ka tareka e ngā tāngata te whakawhiti, engari tē kitea ō rātou waka i ēnei rā. I te takiwā o te 50,000 BC ki te 25,000 BC kua hangaa kētia te māripi (naihi); heoi kāore anō kia hangaa te toki, te taonga matua hei tārai waka. Ahakoa te mea he ariā noa iho tēnei, tērā pea i whakamahia ngā inanga (bamboo) nui e tipu ana i taua takiwā hei hanga waka mōkihi. Waihoki, i tareka e ngā tāngata te peke moutere ki Poronihia Tata.
