Taaroa also won many long distance races, for example the Super Aito and Bora Bora Iron Race in the Juniors' division, and he became second (7 seconds) behind Lewis Laughlin at the Super Aito in open division. Also, he paddled for EDT Va'a at the Hawaiki Nui 2008 who became second just behind Shell (beating Shell in the second leg)... but most of all, Taaroa is one of the nicest and most humble guys I have ever met...also from a human perspective a real world champion!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17589630.post-10070145090798588502008-12-23T15:06:00.000-08:002008-12-23T15:06:00.000-08:00Mindy... you are the bomb.

Its all about moving water.
