They should ban paepaeulupo’os skipper, ola se sami ae faavalevalea ( that means in paepae ulupo’o language very Big Ocean 🌊) . Kiga le mea pe’a kaea le auvaa a li’i ulupoo😂. Shows what you guys are made off!!! Bann their boat from ever competing again in any fautasi race for putting everyone in harm’s way!!!!!!!! Thank goodness everyone was safe. Aua a kaea kou va’a aua koe o kou vaa kaea gi ku’uga vaa!!! The fautasi race committee should look at life time bann for these kind of unsportsmanlike behavior from this skipper and their boat crew. If anyone did get seriously injured this would be a different story 💯. How does the skipper for Ulupo’o live with himself knowing what he did and putting everyone in harms way. Paepae ulupoo you guys have today showed no class at all…. Cancel loa le kou va’a

[@sasalouguku2565]

Without the incident. Paepaeulupoo and MT are really fast. They were on cruise mode and still kept up with fealofani who was rowing faster than them.

[@MerenielHuch]

True😊

You’re exactly right. You make more sense than some of these comments.

[@TamaSamoa-b8l]

**A Sad Day for Fautasi Racing** I'm really disappointed and sad about the race that was held yesterday. As the world watched, our beautiful fautasi, a symbol of Samoan unity and brotherhood, was brought to shame by the Paepae ulu po'o's actions. As a Samoan, it pains me to see my people engaging in such destructive behavior. We're known for our Christian values and strong sense of community, but today's events have left me feeling disappointed and concerned. The use of methamphetamine (meth) has led to this chaos and destruction. It's a scourge that's affecting our families, our communities, and our way of life. If we don't address this issue, it will only get worse, and I fear that next year's Fautasi Race may be marred by gun violence. To the Fealofani fautasi team, I want to acknowledge your hard work and dedication. Your fautasi was well-prepared and showed great potential. I'm so sorry that your efforts were overshadowed by the unfortunate events that unfolded. To the Government of American Samoa, I implore you to take immediate action to address this drug problem. We need to work together as a community to support those affected and prevent further harm. Let's not let this day define us. Let's stand united and take back our values of love, respect, and unity.

Manulele Tausala was smart enough to stay on the outside lane 💯 Also they have more room away from the 2nd fautasi💯👍

[@johnnysavelio3400]

you can clearly see that fealofani was still in their lane and paepae crossed over their own and into fealofanis

[@johnnysavelio3400]

and paepae was the reason why fealofani was off balance

[@AliileleimatumuaMatau]

@@MerenielHuchlook at the race routes. They were all supposed to turn in and make way to the end. MT went straight out hence why they didn’t get first like we all thought they would. They all went the wrong way except for matasaua and Aeto.

Drama on the high seas! Cool video, great if there were Fautasi cams and some commentary, maybe for next year.

Oars are too long. Keep them short like the old days. You can keep your hitech fiber glass but use shorter oars. Less chance of boats' oars tangling

[@user-eb8iu2qp5s]

Fealofagi could not see their boat drifting toward paepae. Ouke le o faikio, e le ose mea faigofie. However, it was probably heading toward one of the best race ever with the three up front. Regardless of the disqualification, those three boats was very exciting to watch digging in. 💪 We had the V8 Chevy dual exshaust vs the Dodge wide Body Charger and the Duramax 400 HP Dodge RST 😂

[@kuoli_684]

not surprised everyone will NEVER take side with Paepaeulupo'o. Yall was not rowing so 🤫🤐. & ofc everyone saw it from a different point of view, o le last minute suiga o le kigi ga mafua ai ga filiva'a lae molimau le foemua a le Fealofani. If yall take a closer look at other fautasi they were all heading for the finish line which was now in Aua rather than Gata'ivai that was mentioned before the race started (original kigi). Like @taluaigaluega905 said they did it to themselves turning right in front of Aua crew not once but twice, stating the obvious to the trolls (all yall) Skipper Fealofani did not get the memo they changed the kigi. Why do you think Aua is still not banned 🤔cos they did nothing wrong & they are and will always be Public's enemy! not taking sides here just stating facts! Ask don't assume ma le kele ole windy ae le'i kago se foe. The jetski is a different story o sa'o e fesili iai it had nothing to do with the Skipper & his crew. Yes, we all saw it was not helping the situation, sad but Thank God no one was harm! to each their own ma lakou magaku - you are entitled to your own "opinion" keyword "OPINION!" a le'i alo oe or was never on one the two fautasi stfu`pls & faafetai ! Criticizing is a whole 'nother level for yall experts, only reflecting YOU so keep it up - MANUNA

[@linegrant4605]

I don't understand how the second and 3rd fautasi ended up collided with each other😮 at first both had enough room from each other💯 I guess one fautasi rowers weren't focusing on where they were heading 😮 too bad and was sad too for these rowers. Thanked God no one got hurt or drowned 🙏

​@@Ken684-gx2vhyou are right about no boat catching Fealofani...but this is an open ocean race. Regardless if Aua does there thing, once the race enters the open ocean...Fealofani doesn't have a shot. Fealofani will win every race in still water....like Samoa's in harbor race. All these new high techs are meant for calm waters. As for Aua....time to change your skipper. He continues to put his crew in harms way. Hope everyone made it back in safely.
