HOKALI

The learning version of "stoke" or "aloha" – the combination of relief, success, and fist-pumping joy you feel when you finally remember that idea that was on the tip of your tongue, or answer a tough question, or solve a challenging problem, or master a new skill.
When I finally understood the algebra equation it was like carving my first turn on a snowboard – I sat back in my chair, stretched, and felt the full hokali.
