EDT Va'a Video

Follow EDT Va'a, one of Tahiti's professional paddling teams, and see how they train, and how they went out to win the 2015 Hawaiki Nui Va'a, a three day iron race.

Six of these boys made up the Red Bull Wa'a team that just won the 2017 Molokai Hoe. After seeing this, you can truly see the level of Tahitian paddling, and why they're so good. Over there it's a life style, a profession, and a way to get a good job.
