The beautiful beaches of Huahine host both beginner and experienced competitors. With races in traditional Polynesian canoes, swimming, surf-skiing, and stand up paddling, it is a unique challenge for everyone. The sporting event, like every other local holiday, is accompanied by an outstanding festival, with family relays, music, dancing, eating, movies and a vast variety of entertainment. It used to be held off Bora Bora coast, but from 2017 organizers moved all the action to Huahine island.
