Ocean swimming…stand up paddling…outrigger canoeing…surf skiing…paddleboarding…ocean triathloning…free diving.
Those are some of the many ocean-going activities of Brazilian-bred athletes like João Castro.
What started out as Castro’s passion for outrigger canoeing on a local level has turned into a massive nationwide gathering of watermen and waterwomen doing all kinds of ocean competitions, appropriately called the Aloha Spirit Festival.
