]]>This pirogue canoe race is one of the major events of the season and is given high media coverage in Polynesia and around the world. Every year, over a hundred teams compete equipped with pirogues, or more precisely, Va’a, a Samoan and Tahitian word meaning boat. The teams comprise both locals and expats.
The trophy is awarded every year to the best civilian and military teams. More and more renowned companies and clubs are participating in this race.
The branch manager of AGS Tahiti, Jean-Pierre Delalande, saw this event as an opportunity to demonstrate the branch’s involvement in local social affairs, and to support a sport which is integral to Polynesian culture.
]]>This outrigger canoe race brings together more than 100 traditional canoes and 200 racers, who compete between the
Pacific Ocean islands over a distance of more than 95 km in 3 days.
Rowers from Tahiti, the Tuamotu Islands, the Marquesas, New Caledonia, Hawaii and France all take part in the event.
Supporters cheer on the rowers from outboard boats and fishing boats along the route.
AGS Tahiti provided financial support to the CSA CABIRI team, who represented a French Navy regiment during the race.
As an avid supporter of local communities, AGS Tahiti was proud to support French sailors for the Hawaiki Nui Va’a.
