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.

Outrigger Canoe Team Red Bull Wa'a Takes Age Old Sport by Storm - Sport
The underwater shot when all of the paddle blades move in perfect unison gave me goosebumps.
I'm going back to paddling after this video. It's a way of life
Amen to this
This and Nothing Else season 4 on red bull tv was so amazing. Hope they do more episodes with the Red Bull Wa’a team!
I miss hawaii weather, I really miss the surfing and spearfishing. What i miss the most is the aloha ohana spirit and oc6 paddling out of alawai across waikiki everyday after work. Aloha from Virginia.
I can't wait to do the Havaiki Nui Va'a. I have paddled for 17 years and I think I will dedicate 2023 to get there. 😀
You do it, brother!
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.
Lies again? Platinum Debit Gain City
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.
I love paddling here in Hawaii. I have been paddling for 2 years and I might never stop it’s so beautiful and I love the ocean paddling is apart of me. I love the weather when I go paddling with my friends but it’s also really scary when you flip. I love my culture I love being a Hawaiian.
Yes! This is awesome
Love it!
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.
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.
Vaa is also translated into canoe in samoan aswell
Fully awesome. I stopped outrigger to do stand up but this vid makes me want to get back in a canoe.
This made me cry 😢😢

I’m so blessed that every year we get to tow your guys canoe just for like two days and meet you guys after Molokai hoe and seeing you guys try every year and push just beat them Tahitians. I’m currently paddling in my own v1 keiki model that was built and molded by a man and good friend Philip up in Tahiti , and I just wanted to its a wonderful sport and I was fortune enough to be born in to the sport. Mahalo and a hui ho, and hoe pa

Eu sei que tem Clube Náutico em Icaraí.Niteroi
Love it! But, is there any female outrigger canoe on the Red Bull team??? 🤷🏼♀️I will love to engage this idea! 🙋🏼♀️🛶☺️
Cheee!
I would like to know about the possibility of using part of the video to promote the sport in other countries. Thanks
At 0:04 he paddles in the air haha
Well, the first one sets the timing for the whole boat. So even if he doesn't have water under him, the rest of the boat counts on him.
Stoker is arguably the most important seat aside from the steersman.
Cooper Fong it's coz he has to keep this boat still running and keep them in time
👏👏😊
Are you guys going to take on Shell Va and ADT
lyf45mo they beat shell this year
Yes they did ,Red Bull was strong.
They beat shell coz they hired tahitian EDT paddlers that year
Hi
My dream is paddling on a Hawaiian canoa :(
wait... so who won?!!! Hawaii or Tahiti?! AAAAAGH!
I think the year after this video they won, but every year after they came up short in 2nd place
Yhea
Keep Hawaiian Lands in Hawaiian Hands!

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.

😁😁😁
Pretty early ;D
everything is cool except the part about drowning. nobody drowning with a canoe around haha.
But it sounds more dramatic haha
Shell va
Errr....a lot of people die in the world of kayaking and canoeing, it's not that unheard of
You can drown when you huli and the wa'a or ama knock you unconscious.
They sound like they're from East LA.....
if you flip you could drown........ life vest?????
No true outrigger canoe paddler wears a life vest. All racing crews practice huli drills.
I paddle these boats and have never seen them paddled like this
Awesome video
Huh? This is how they're paddled...
Stephen Smith some are not this is long distance paddling which is done in the ocean usually but there's another type which is like sprints etc
this is what outrigger paddling is all about...
It's called Va'a

00:23 - yes; they travelled 1500 years ago and came to hawaii and immediately killed the original inhabitants. So noble.
i'm pretty sure you're talking about captain cook.
and who was here before them?
Sort of. They also married them and bred with the original inhabitants
@@vajeye-nar6172 No wonder local hawaiins are such dicks.
