    Before endurance and water sports existed, there was canoe paddling. Initially a vehicle used to hunt and fight has now become one of the largest growing fitness and endurance sports in the world. The U.S. outrigger canoe paddling team from Kona, the Red Bull Wa’a, have taken the age-old sport by storm and challenged the tenure of the Tahitian paddlers. For the Red Bull Wa’a, paddling isn’t just a means to peak personal strength - it’s spiritual. Team captain, Kainoa Tanoai, says "When you’re paddling for four hours a day, you’re focused on the goal of competing at the highest level, but you’re also focused on being one with the ocean and respecting the canoe, your teammates, and the sport.

    There is something beautiful about when the the shape of the swell matches the arms to the Ama. One day I will have an outrigger and a place to put it.

  • @islandvibez

    Kind of amazing to see boat like this that is very similar to the bangka! Only difference is, the bangka has two outriggers, one on each side, whereas this Wa'a is a single outrigger design. Really a testament to how connected we all are.

    Wa'a comes from Va'a which means canoe in Tahitian. Best AND most powerful teams in the world are from Tahiti and the hardest race is called Hawaiki (Havaiki Nui Va'a) and is taking place each year in French Polynesia (Huahine, Raiatea, Bora). Beautiful race.

    • @islandvibez

      Righto. Outrigger canoes are a common hallmark of Polynesian mariners. Actually was the vehicle used by austronesian expansion from madagascar to Hawaii and new Zealand to rapa nui.

    Antes de que existieran los deportes acuáticos y de resistencia, existían las canoas de remo. Inicialmente, un vehículo utilizado para cazar y pelear ahora se ha convertido en uno de los deportes de fitness y resistencia de mayor crecimiento en el mundo.
    El equipo estadounidense de remo en canoa con estabilizadores de Kona, el Red Bull Wa’a, ha tomado por asalto este antiguo deporte y ha desafiado la permanencia de los remeros de Tahití.
    Para el Red Bull Wa'a, remar no es solo un medio para alcanzar la máxima fuerza personal, es algo espiritual. La capitana del equipo, Kainoa Tanoai, dice: "Cuando estás remando durante cuatro horas al día, te enfocas en el objetivo de competir al más alto nivel, pero también te enfocas en ser uno con el océano y respetar la canoa. tus compañeros de equipo y el deporte.
