A six-person team of paddlers practicing for a race in a traditional Hawaiian outrigger canoe is silhouetted by sunlight glistening on the North Pacific Ocean off the coast of Maui in Hawaii, USA. Typical Hawaiian racing canoes have a single outrigger on one side of the craft that provides stability to the long sleek boat. Three crew members pull through the water on each side with paddles that feature long handles with a single blade at one end. Also seen here is a seventh man, a coach who sits higher in the stern (rear) of the boat during practice but is never aboard during actual races.
