A mixed Oceania V6 paddling team has won the grueling 36-kilometer Round Rarotonga race over the weekend.
While the Pacific sporting world was focusing on the Pacific Games in Honiara, another international sporting spectacle is taking place on Rarotonga this week - an event with distinctly Pacific roots.
Choppy conditions on the water led to a spill for six members of a Kiwi Vaka Eiva team, who had to be assisted by diver operators and Police, yesterday morning.
Trader Jacks is “looking forward” to hosting Vaka Eiva competitors again as the Cook Islands’ premier outrigger canoe international regatta returns to Avarua Wharf for the first time in four years. With three-and-a-half hours added to opening time, a freshly-painted car park boosting ambulance access, and plans to cater for 500 people on closing night – the Rarotonga restaurant and bar is anticipating “a very busy week”, director Chris Douglas said.
Dear Editor, A heartfelt thank you to all who attended and supported our fundraiser for the Maui fire victims at Trader Jacks.
