We are excited to announce that, with the partnership and support of Air Tahiti Nui, the first non-Tahitian men’s and women’s team to cross the finish line, Catalina Weekend, will be awarded 9 tickets per team to Vodaphone Channel Crossing next June!

Air Tahiti Nui will be providing a total of 19 tickets to the first, or highest placing, male and female team that did not travel from Tahiti to the Catalina Channel Crossing – U.S. Outrigger Championships, ensuring a fair and equal opportunity for all non-Tahitian teams.

Get your race intents in! We’re looking forward to a great 2024 race! #socaloutrigger#catalinacrossing

Rules and regulations apply. Air Tahiti Nui representatives will be present during Catalina Weekend. We are extremely grateful for this opportunity, and we know the paddling community is as well. With that said, we will enforce the rules and regulations set by Air Tahiti Nui.

*Tickets include 1 carry-on and 1 checked bag

*If the winning team cannot make Vodaphone in June of 2025, the Hawaiki Nui 2024 race can be considered or possibly another race before September 2025. However, Air Tahiti Nui would love to have the winning teams participating in Vodaphone.
