Kanaka Guest Paddle Day

Our guest paddle days allow new or novice paddles to get introduced to Outrigger Canoeing in a fun, safe environment with happy Kupunas – Revered Elders. We plan guest paddle events followed by breakfast every three months, on the second Saturday of the month.

What to Expect

First, we give you a history of our club and make introductions. Next, we provide you with dry-land instructions on how to paddle. We then assess your current physical ability and you will be directed to a seat in the boat based on your current experience and physical condition.

Once in the boat, you will take directions from your Steersman. Typically, on your first paddle, expect to be on the water for approximately 45 minutes. We usually do a spin to Spanish Landing and back. Once back at shore, we’ll talk with you about your experience, and invite you to enjoy a hearty Kanaka breakfast with the club.

Complimentary Guest Paddles

If you want to pursue the sport after your initial paddle with us, we offer five complimentary guest paddles. If you would like to learn more about joining the club, we would be happy to have that conversation. You can paddle with the club as a guest any Tuesday or Thursday afternoon from 3-5 pm at Kanaka Landing. If you can’t make it during the week, we also paddle Saturday mornings at 8 am till 11 am.

We look forward to seeing you at one of your weekly paddles or guest events.
