First there was a prize giving and then the paddlers, supporters and sponsors enjoyed the evening with a concert held at Y-Not at Matautu.
The President of the Samoa Outrigger Canoe Association, Mamea Samuel Ieremia said this year’s Festival has been a week of fun and learning for everyone involved.
“I hope that you had an enjoyable week of paddling, a taste of the fa’asamoa, our culture and traditions and hospitality,” said Mamea.
“In that, you will have a great story to tell your friends and family back home about the wonderful experience you had here in Samoa.”
Earlier, Mamea acknowledged everyone involved.
“Keep a tight grip on that paddle and be the role model for all the other potential paddlers in Samoa and overseas.”
