Hawaiki Nui Va'a th PRESENTS HAWAIKI NUI VA’A 25 V6 OUTRIGGER CANOE RACE edition Organized by the Tahitian Federation of Va’a TYPE OF EVENT NOVEMBER 2, 3, 4, 2016 V6 CANOE RACE MARATHON For the main Hawaiki Nui Va’a race (3 stages) (without crew change) NOVEMBER 4, for Taure’a and Va’ahine (Raiatea) BRIEF DESCRIPTION The HAWAIKI NUI VA’A canoe marathon has been created in 1992. With a distance of 129 km/80 mi, the race links Huahine, Raiatea, Tahaa and Bora Bora in the Leeward Islands. The objective of the race from the very fi rst edition was to promote open ocean outrigger canoeing on a regional and international scope. Photo : Air Tahiti Nui HAWAIKI NUI VA’A / V6 OUTRIGGER CANOE RACE / NOVEMBER 2, 3, 4, 2016 / 25th edition VA’A IN FRENCH POLYNESIA Va’a is the Tahitian word for outrigger canoe, a type of craft visible throughout all the islands in French Polynesia. In Pre-European traditional civilization, the va’a was at the heart of daily life of the island communities as a mean of transport, communication and different types of fi shing. With globalization, these functions have gradually disappeared and have been replaced by the “era of canoe races”, TE HOERA’A VA’A. Va’a racing is divided into two types. The va’a hoe concerns a single paddler whereas,the most popular one, involves six paddlers. Due to the degree of diffi culty, the technics and tactical skills required, va’a races are much more than just a simple athletic event. Va’a represents an authentic immersion into the culture and soul of a people.
