One of the most unknown sports is outrigger canoeing. Sure, most people know an outrigger from the movies or some publication, or have seen it somewhere in Polynesia, but most don’t really know the sport, what it’s capable of, and how fun it is from flat water to actually “surfing”. This video demonstrates the “surfing” aspect of this amazing sport.
Watch a downwind surf crossing with Kai Bartlett and Bobby Pratt. Pure downwind surfing.

wow wow unbelievable beautiful runs I wish you could go out there when they're right you're right it's Priceless with your friends it's an epic that's an epic day for you guys one day maybe we can share it
This is the best thing I've seen on Youtube for ages! Totally inspirational!
Even though I don't understand why you would want to use a single paddle with an outrigger I've got to admit the camera work is excellent, making this a very good video. Thanks for posting.
want them feels. EPIC!
Just when I thought I had viewed every OC-1 video on the tube you post this amazing video. Watching you guys surfing those bumps and constantly flying the ama is a lesson in itself. Amazing conditions, amazing paddling, and fantastic voice over work and music. Excellent promo for OC-1 !!!
It is always fascinating how one can extract energy out of a travelling wave through keeping a particular phase shift with respect to it. While we see boats doing this on a wave, the same principle is used in many electric motors where a synchronous rotation on a stator is followed by a rotor working at a lag angle with respect to it but the lag depends on the load and , all rotating at the same frequency of the 'wave' .
I believe all young people should be introduced to such principles while having fun with the science involved and the mathematics that describe it all in such an elegant manner, and to think that the particles of the water do not move but oscillate up and down to produce a travelling wave, it makes it all more of a miracle!
S I C K ! ! !
insane !!! how long it took 30miles to cross
Is this canoe not ideal for a 190+ paddler? Hard to determine from the description on the Ozone website.
