Aloha! The Philadelphia Outrigger Canoe Club has been paddling in local and regional waterways since 1995. Our canoes are among the first outriggers ever on the East Coast. Our team consists novices to experienced paddlers. While our skills vary, we all share a passion and a respect for this unique water sport.

Outrigger

Outrigger canoe paddling is a sport with roots in ancient Hawaiian culture. When King Kamehameha I united the Hawaiian Islands, outrigger canoe was the only mode of transport within the island chain. Today, outrigger canoe paddling is a popular sport, especially in Hawaii, but also all over the United States and around the world.

Philadelphia Outrigger welcomes all paddlers of any skill level to join us on the water.

We practice several times a week in-season on the Schuylkill River, as well as at the Jersey shore.

All you need is to know how to swim and an good appetite for fun! We’ll supply the rest for your first couple of practices. For more information, please contact us via email. Visit us on facebook. The team practices are announced through Meet-Up.
