We are proud to be the largest competitive Outrigger team in Vancouver! Officially formed in 2017, our members have diverse paddling backgrounds and levels of experience. We race locally, in the Pacific Northwest, as well as internationally.
With high level coaching and specific programming within a friendly atmosphere, our team has proven to be one of the more dynamic, welcoming and winning programs in Canada. Every year many of our athletes go on to represent Canada at the IVF (International Va'a Federation) World Elite + Club Sprint Championships and the IVF World Distance Championships.
Our mission is to be a competitive outrigger canoe racing team striving for paddling excellence within an inclusive team atmosphere.
