You can come to any rec/novice outrigger practices. However, you must inform the program coach before your first practice.

Our club provides you with a paddle and a life jacket. However, more experienced and competitive paddlers are encouraged to invest in a good paddle.

Racing is an optional part of rec/novice outrigger program. However, if you are interested in moving up to the competitive level, it is strongly recommended that you participate in OC6, OC2, and OC1 races!
