Ventura's Competitive Outrigger Racing Team
Rooted in competition, stewardship, and ‘ohana, Hokuloa Outrigger Canoe Club is a member-run, nonprofit organization founded in 1987. We proudly race as part of the Southern California Outrigger Racing Association (SCORA).
New paddlers welcome - no experience required.
Curious about outrigger paddling? Most paddlers start with little to no experience — we’ll teach you everything you need to know. Email us and learn how to get started.
