Looks like so much fun

Have a look in the description, this video has a sad story unfortunately :(

That looks like a 16' Wa'apa by Gary Dierking. It's too bad that Amazon couldn't do right by local tradition and culture. The proa is a basic sea form. It will always be a part of the history wherever there are winds and water.

It is, Gary provided the design pro bono to support the project.

Thanks for highlighting the wrongs that these companies continue to around the world

[@Thomas_de_Meijer]

Always so sad when funds and effort get misdirected like this. The same investment in a more genuine way could have done a lot of good.

Absolutely, this is a typical example of green washing at the expense of the local people.
