I heard the tongan boat was row by the tkngan marines which make sense why they won and train all year round. They have the advantage of picking from the whole of tonga compare to these villages boat.. Race a Samoan pick military boat i dont think Tonga can compete

My favorite race game of all time. I hope we have a fautasi race out here in Cali

Commentators back to you Henry 😂

Laau a le Saualii used to dominate the races in the 80s and eatly 90s.. sadly many men have migrated resulting in not enough men to row any more...

TokoUso all the way 💯🤙🏽💪🏽

That’s my uncle that my dad brother❤😭🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺✝️

That’s my uncle you went to the studio and you called this song

The only reason we were able to beat the Tongan boats was because King Taufa'ahau decided to let the people of Eua and Niua row their boats. The Tongan crews that year were younger and lighter. I was a member of the Iseula crew that year and swapped boats with them a couple of times during practices that year. The Tongan crews always used our field in Fagatogo during those years and the usual crews when Tonga dominated were older, bigger and looked like a battalion of Tongan marines. The big advantage that the Vava'u and Ha'apai had was their crews were training and living together all year round until the races. It took us at least 2 months to prepare a crew and most of our training was done in the evenings when everyone got off work

I loved to see our island Neighbors participate in Polynesian Holiday, especially fautasi race, A tournaments between our Islands American Samoa, Tonga, and Samoa neighbors is good to keeps our Islands peoples to loved ones another’ Friendly to each Island, and that’ll make FAUTASI RACES MORE BEAUTIFUL AND POPULAR IN BOTH OUR POLYNESIAN Island ACTIVITIES, and find out the best Island fautasi Race can terminate the Competition between our 3 Islands in any Holidays . I Said let’s do it and good for our ECONOMY, TOURIST WILL VISITORS FROM ALL OVER THE WORLD WE’LL COME AND SEEING HOW POLYNESIAN PEOPLES ARE REACTING TO THIS , LETS DO IT GOVERNOR, TUI TONGA AND THE PRY-MINISTER OF SAMOA

Still remember watching this race on video player in 1986 in Haapai as it was the first time we see the Fautasi race but we called it Siu’a’alo! For there,my love for these race has never stopped.Fascinating,the size of the boat and rhythm of the Rower!!! Since our Tongan boats aren’t racing,I barrack for that boat with the female captain! She looks like a Samoan female warriors of the past!!! Alofa atu to this legend of a competition

Man… the tv coverage and the two calling the fautasi race back then was way better than it is today! 👍

Watching from New Zealanad, sad to hear the old boat still run for the little money, Congratulation to you LOWRIDER, and all fautasi , God bless, aua le kaua'imisa koe oso fo'i le la, love from son of Mapusaga, NZ

AETO

This was the 1995 fautasi race....FYI

Mukua vaalele le oso AETO !!! Kuli mai ia mai le filivaa ile kaalo leaga, koe maua uma a vaa !!! Ia ua kakou masagi foi ia Iseula ia, kausaga uma e luma a lakou. Kiga le mea pea mua soo le AETO!!!😂😂😂😂

This a mistake! This is not the Tu’i Ha’apai and Tu’i Vava’u!!! The commentators might still think it’s the Tu’i Vava’u and the Tu’i Ha’apai.This year,the King had disbanded the Tu’i Haapai and Tu’i Vava’u to compete in Hawaii canoe racing since he heard there is a chance the Fautasi organisers were going to no longer invite the Tu’i Vava’u and Tu’i Haapai due to their dominance. So the King called upon the people of Eua and Niu to get rowers form two teams,the Tu’i Eua and Tu’i Niua rowing the same boat.The label “V” and “ H” was never changed.The Tu’i Eua crew row the Tu’i Vava’u boat and the Tu’i Niua row the Tu’i Haapai boat! The proof to this is the uniform.Vava’u’s colour is black or white.Haapai is red or Maroon.Eua is yellow and look at the uniform of those they called Tu’i Vava’u,they are in yellow proving that it’s the Tu’i Eua! My brother was rowing for Tu’i Ha’apai and he was one of those that weren’t longer selected in 89 to go to Hawaii due to his age! Check on 24:20 that female commentator prove what I am telling you all! It’s the Tu’i Eua crew rowing the Tu’i Vava’u boat!!!!

Anyone know the song at the end ?
