Outrigger canoe paddlers (MR) surfing a wave.

Kona, Hawaii, 2001

I took this image while shooting a cover assignment for a Hawaiil visitors magazine. The guys are a club sponsored by the Four Seasons Resort in Kona, and were practicing the technique of surfing a wave with the outrigger canoe.

Canoe paddling is a huge sport here, and the clubs cater to all levels of ability.
