The Catalina Crossing is the U.S. championship of outrigger canoe paddling. Here, Kahakai Outrigger Canoe Club of Long Beach Open Men's crew is filmed racing from Avalon, Catalina to Newport Beach on September 11, 2021. This 34-mile race requires a "9-man" configuration where fresh paddlers are dropped from a chase boat and then literally jump in the canoe as it races by, replacing team members who exit simultaneously. In this clip, the brave men of Kahakai execute a water change.
