MISSION & VALUES
We aim to use outrigger canoeing as a tool to assist those within the community that are looking to become less socially isolated and want to improve not only their health and fitness but to also increase and foster valuable life skills and qualities such as leadership, communication skills, working as a team, discipline and self esteem.
Outrigger canoeing is a sport which doesn’t discriminate and has proven to transcend age, gender and cultural boundaries. It’s a sport for all, a sport which concentrates on team work, respect and harmony with nature and each other. So if you want to give it a go,or have been meaning to get back into this great “way of life” then contact us.
Outrigger Canoeing is for everyone!
