Not a photofinish race. The yellow canoe has easily won this race. The finish line is the series of flags by the catamaran. These teams move in complete synchrony and the race is from here across the bay and then back.

I love the fact that there are a variety of teams each composed of a unique subset of humanity. There are the teams of macho 20 year-old males, the teams of high-school girls, silver-haired women, etc.

Canoe clubs are very popular on the Hawaiian islands and you can easily find a team that embodies your spirit.
