Outrigger Canoeing (OC)
Outrigger canoes trace their origins back about 2,000-3,000 years ago. The original intentions behind their conception was as a main means of transportation and fishing for island dwelling inhabitants. They were most often seen in areas such as Oceania, Polynesia, other various island cultures and of course Hawaii.
The main purpose of the attached outrigger is to provide the paddlers with more stability in the ocean. It helps to keep the balance of the hull when facing rough water or when paddling quickly. In a way it provides a safety net for those within the canoe as they can rely on the added balance when in the open water. Paddlers have to be careful not to lean too much on the side without the outrigger as this may cause the canoe to capsize. This, however, is an unusual occurrence.

Dragon boat paddling is not just a sport, it’s a celebration of unity and resilience. Stemming from Ancient China, this form of boat racing has evolved into a global phenomenon, binding people together in a spirit of fun, fitness and friendship. The vibrant boats, adorned to resemble dragons, symbolize boldness, courage, power and strength – qualities reflected in every paddler.
