Marina Outrigger Youth Paddling Program

Marina del Rey Outrigger Canoe Club relaunched it's Youth Paddling program.recently, with over 70 boys and girls beginning to learn this tradition rich ocean sport, while at the same time developing their fitness and teamwork.  Click here for photos from the first day.


The program is in partnership with Santa Monica PAL,  Boys and Girls Club of Santa Monica , and the Santa Monica Explorers,  All local children between the ages of 11 and 18, who want to paddle canoes in the ocean, get fit and have fun developing their athletic abilities while testing their competitive nature in a team environment, are welcome to join. There is no cost. This program is fully subsidized by MDROCC and our other sponsors.

Outrigger canoe paddling is a centuries old tradition developed in Hawaii and the Polynesian islands.  We will paddle outrigger canoes, develop technique and teamwork, improve fitness, and gain an appreciation and respect for the ocean.  There will also be an opportunity for the youth team to compete in regatta races against other youth teams.
