Kaimanu Outrigger Canoe Club

If you’ve ever gone jogging at the foot of Marina Boulevard around the one mile parcourse next to the water, chances are you’ve seen Kaimanu’s red and yellow outrigger canoes out practicing in the lagoon, or headed out of the channel for a paddle on the Bay. Kaimanu just celebrated it’s 30^th anniversary as a outrigger canoe club, and generations (literally!) have learned of the ancient sport of Hawaiian outrigger canoe from paddling with this club.
Every year the club participates in local sprint regattas, as well as local long distance races; the club also sends crews to Hawaii and Tahoe for various distance races.
The club welcomes first-​time as well as seasoned paddlers; and there are practices and races for the young as well as the young at heart. The kids and I have been paddling with Kaimanu for several years and we’ve enjoyed every minute of it.
The San Francisco Bay is truly a gem, and there’s no better way to enjoy it than to be on the water. Check out the website (
