Canoe Racing, Samoa

Outrigger canoeing is an extremely popular sport in Po;ynesian islands, most notably in Samoa, Tahiti and Hawaii where you'll see canoeists training around the town harbours most evenings. Canoe festivals and races are great events and include the Faitasi Race in Samoa where giant canoes are rowed by over 50 people. Other popular sports include Kiriti (a local adaption of Cricket played enthusiastically in Samoa, Futuna and Nauru), Netball (which both Fijians and Cook Islanders excel at) and Volleyball.
