Thank you for your interest in Marina Outrigger! Your timing is great because our offseason paddling program has begun.
Our first offseason practice will be October 1, 2011 at 8:30 am. Arrive early, as we sometimes have capacity issues. Plan on being at the beach for about 3 hours. The offseason paddling practices take place on Saturday mornings Oct 1 to Feb 25. We take a few Saturdays off around the holidays. The fee for the offseason program is 125.00- click here for online payments (There is no charge for the first session, so you can try it out). Parking is across the street from our beach on Palawan and the machine takes cash or credit cards.
Many people who started in the offseason have continued on to join our racing teams, when official practice begins in March. Whatever your goal, offseason paddling is a great entry point to the sport.
If you haven't already, please read the New Paddler section to get acquainted with the sport and our club. Directions can be found there.
