Sunday was a busy day on the water for the Queen Liliuokalani Outrigger Canoe Races. Competition started at 7:30 a.m. with the last race going off a little after noon. All in all, there were nine races on the fourth day of the 43rd annual event.

Races on Sunday were a mixed bag of competition types. The focus of the day was on the Waa Kaulua, a 5-mile double-hull canoe sprint that started and finished at Kailua Pier. The day also hosted a stand-up paddleboard contest and single hull canoe races.

In the paddleboarding competition, a relatively new event, athletes competed in a 4.5 mile race for the Unlimited Division and a 3.5 mile race for those with stock boards. There were OC1 and OC2 single hull canoe races, which competed on the same course as the Waa Kaulua.

The Queen Liliuokalani wraps up on Monday with the Alii Challenge. Wahine and kane paddlers will test their skills and knowledge of the Hawaiian culture on a land course and then the competition will move into the water for a 12-crew, 17.5 mile single hull canoe race. At the midpoint of the race, a second set of crew members will take over to finish the competition.
