Manufacturing a Va'a
from Rambos Locker Outrigger Canoe Blog September 25, 2008
I know quite a few people have shown interest in Va'a Racing, like Greg Long, Kevy Long, Mark Kennedy, Rowdy etc. A Va'a plug is actually already in Australia awaiting molding, so things are farther down the track than what one might realize. The NZ surfrigger has been around for a while, we have a few up here at Mooloolaba, but they are some what different to the Tahitian Va'a and lot's of Kiwis love the Tahitian designs. Another informative video this time of the making of a Va'a

Wow - Super Aito Rudderless Surfing Video
from Rambos Locker Outrigger Canoe Blog September 25, 2008
This is the best rudderless surfing video i have ever seen, check out the skills of these guys. The video is actually footage from this years Super Aito There is so much more to learn than just thrashing away with a paddle and pressing on foot peddles to steer as we currently do on ruddered canoes. The way they use their body, their paddle and the ocean is to me like "Equestrian" on the Ocean. I'd like to propose we start a movement towards manufacturing and racing Va'a here in Australia, not just sprints but ocean racing as seen in the video. The skills learnt would be incredibly valuable for steerers in OC6 and create a whole new interest for OC1 paddlers looking for a challenge. I want one.
