20 Row of Outrigger Canoes in Kailua-Kona, Island of Hawaii, Hawaii

Racing outrigger canoes is a popular water activity on the Big Island and is the state sport of Hawaii. Each year, several regattas are sponsored by local clubs in Kailua-Kona in addition to major races across the islands. There are six paddlers in the boats called OC6 but you’ll often see single-person canoes as well. Long distance races can stretch up to 20 miles or farther.
