Here in French Polynesia Vaitahu and Hapatoni are the first places we see those traditional wooden canoes. They are used as dinghies to shuttle between shore and mooring buoy, where a powered little boat is tied to.
In Hiva Oa and other bays we have seen the outrigger canoes from carbon fibers and they are made for racing.
