Hailing from Oahu, Hawaii, father and son duo Aaron and Riggs Napoleon carry on the generations’ deep tradition of Hawaiian watermen. On any given day, you’ll find them paddling 4-man outrigger canoes, SUP-Surfing, paddling the Molokai channel, or doing down wind practice runs on their SUP boards.
Aaron’s SUP race résumé boasts multiple podium finishes in benchmark SUP competitions like the Battle of the Paddle. In addition, he encourages his 13 year old son, Riggs to push himself and race among the best SUP athletes in the world. In 2010 at only 12 years old, Riggs completed the grueling 32 mile Molokai to Oahu SUP solo channel crossing. Two of the most prominent Hawaiian watermen, Aaron and Riggs are the epitome of ‘Ocean Minded’.
