this is my first time trying to paddle in a wa'a (outrigger canoe). i've decided to record this journey and share it, so others can learn too.

i wanted to give a special thanks to my beautiful wife, without whom i'd never have had the confidence, desire, or opportunity to try anything like this. i love you.

here's those videos i watched before i started:
