This week marks the 2007 Samoa South Pacific Games Va’a (outrigger canoe) regatta at the Mulifanoua Reserve in Samoa. Monday and Tuesday marked the sprint regatta, whilst today’s race is the solo va’a distance event and tomorrow culminates with the team distance event.

Stories, photos and results are available at the Sporting Pulse’s paddling web page.

It is bittersweet following the results. No, not bittersweet, just bitter. I’d like to say “Well there’s always next time,” but I know there won’t be a next time, at least for me going to SPG.
