Outrigger canoeing is exciting, social and competitive. We teach the history of outrigger canoeing as it relates to Polynesian culture and we enter WA club regattas and organised fun paddling trips. Canoe handling, correct paddling technique, and race strategy are taught at training. There is also an emphasis on safety, fitness, teamwork, and concentration.

Outrigger canoeing is a lifelong sport and parents are welcome to get involved with the juniors and paddle with our senior crews. For new paddlers the first three sessions are free! Please click here for more information regarding membership or feel free to contact the club.

For more information about junior outrigger canoeing in Australia see the AOCRA Juniors page and watch the promotional video.
