Tahiti, Polynesian man, traditional javelin throwing competition, Tuaro Maohi, Polynesia.

The javelin throwing competition during the Tuaro Maohi in Polynesia highlights the skill of the participants who, dressed in traditional outfits, seek to reach a coconut fixed to the top of a mast, located approximately 10 meters high, with their javelins. The precision of the throw thus becomes crucial, the coconut serving as a symbolic target. This ancestral test highlights the connection between the traditional skills of Polynesians and the preservation of their heritage
