A quick google search (to see what "hawaiian slings" were) lead me to:

Hope it helps. Perhaps others will come up with more...

The most effective Hawaiian slings are the simple designs like Art, Donald and Fred Pinder made popular... a wooden stock with a band tied to it, and a freeshaft.
Here's a few photos I took of Art with his sling in the Bahamas a couple years ago. He was 74 at the time.

check your local laws though about what type of tips/barbs/"gigs" are allowed. I've seen some places have different rules about them. (typically state rules)
The Hawaiian sling is the most legal spearfishing tool on the planet, with no trigger. Along with pole spears, they are all you can use in the Bahamas, and only while freediving.
