Learn to paddle outrigger canoe for FREE!
Whether you’ve paddled outrigger canoe in the past, enjoy SUP and kayaking or are new to paddle sports and are intrigued…we’ve got a seat for you! Kai Elua is the longest running outrigger canoe club on Mission Bay. You’ll find us inclusive and welcoming and the sport invigorating, fun and a great workout…all with aloha spirit with deep Polynesian roots. Off-season (October - February) is the perfect time to try it out. Our ohana is active on and off the water - (optional, but fun!) participation in volunteer beach clean-ups, theme parties and activities, full moon paddles, OB Christmas Parade and the San Diego Santa Run! You can say we are a social club with a paddling problem…
NEW PADDLERS welcome, no experience necessary. Outrigger introduction and off-season practices through February are FREE! Join us to see how this sport and community are so addictive!
