The Holopuni Va'a Waterman Channel Crossing is a race from Point Venus (Tahiti) to Coco Beach (Moorea) in Polynesian style 3-person outrigger sailing canoes. Hosted by the Va'a Ta'ie Tautoru Association (Tahitian for double-ama sailing canoe association), most of the canoes are of the "Holopuni" brand which originated in Hanalei, Kauai. The course distance is about 28 miles and with the right conditions features a good run with lots of open ocean surf.
