ALOHA!
The Adult Newport Aquatic Center (NAC) Outrigger program caters to individuals of all ages and skill levels. It features both a competitive men’s and women’s team, a novice program, and a seasonal recreational coed program. The team actively engages in races overseen by the Southern California Racing Association. The season spans from March to the first week of September, concluding with the U.S. Outrigger Championships Catalina Crossing.
A novice paddler is a first-time paddler who is new to the sport and community! Our novice program is designed to introduce newcomers to the sport, its traditions, and the social activities associated with outrigger canoeing.
