Outrigger canoes are traditional watercraft commonly used in the Pacific Islands, particularly in places like Hawaii and Polynesia. They feature a main hull and one or more lateral support floats, known as outriggers, which provide stability and balance while paddling. These canoes are designed for both fishing and transportation, and they can be made from various materials, including wood and fiberglass. The design of outrigger canoes allows them to navigate rough waters effectively. They are often used in competitive racing and recreational paddling, showcasing the rich maritime culture of the Pacific Islanders. Today, outrigger canoeing has gained popularity worldwide, promoting teamwork and physical fitness.
