The Cook Island Canoeing Association is hosting the inaugural Rarotonga 2004 Vaka Eiva from the 19th to the 26th of November 2004. Our goal is to have at least one team from our Pacific neighbours (and hopefully more) and currently include Hawaii, Fiji, Tahiti, New Zealand, Australia and Samoa, although the event is open to clubs from around the World.
