What We Do

Life on the Water

Outrigger canoe paddling

Paddling

From your first stroke to open-ocean crossings, we welcome paddlers of all levels to experience the thrill of outrigger canoe on the Coral Sea.

Outrigger canoe racing

Racing

Compete in local, state, and national regattas. Our crews train hard, race proud, and bring home results that honour our club and our community.

Club community

Community

More than a club — we're a family. Barbecues on the beach, club nights, and a culture of manaakitanga (hospitality) that makes everyone feel at home.

Pacific heritage

Heritage

Outrigger canoe paddling connects us to the ancient voyaging traditions of the Pacific. We carry that legacy with pride on every paddle.
