Kaimanu Outrigger Canoe Club

Finally got to downloading the Garmin. Here are a few of the best routes Van & Kat paddled in the last few months. #garmin #outrigger #oc2 #kaimanuocc #paddling #paddlers4life

Hey paddling fam!! Hope you are all staying healthy and safe during these unreal times!! Our mantra is, instead of stuck at home we are safe at home! But if you do need to venture out - in addition to all the regular precautions, here is a list of what we are doing to stay extra vigilant and safe. Remember this virus can attack anyone - even you healthy, hearty and bigger than life paddlers. #kaimanu #kaimanuocc #clean #paddlers #paddlers4life #safeathome #checklist

Dang. We got three boats out today on this cold and rainy day!! So much energy and excitement going into this season!!

Hi Kaimanu - As we start our season, this is a good reminder that our canoes (Wa'a) are a core part of our club and the outrigger paddling culture. Please read the post from Justin regarding the value of the Wa'a and how to treat them respectfully. Mahalo Matt Chamberlain

It’s a water sport .... and sometimes we fall into the water. this was a huli that these paddlers will never forget!! But that’s why we practice and we take safety precautions! If this make you nervous and also a little bit giddy, we want you to come paddle with us. Step outside of your comfort zone, that’s where growth begins. #paddlers #huli #outrigger #paddling #oc6 #maui #hawaii #bouyant #optoutside #sanleandromarina #sanleandro #watersports
