Activity in a nutshell
This is a great opportunity to have a go at the super social outrigger canoe paddling. MIOCC and Coral Sea OCC will show you the basics of outrigger paddling before you hit the waters off The Strand in their multi-person canoes (you won’t be paddling alone!). There will also be some fun games and challenges on the water to add an extra element of excitement. Make sure you bring family and friends for a bit of competition! (Separate bookings required).
What’s great about it?
Outrigger paddling is more than a sport — it’s a healthy lifestyle. Being out on the ocean is calming and outrigging offers a great way to get fit and stay fit surrounded by a friendly group of people. It’s a fantastic all-round workout, particularly for your core. Outrigger paddling is low impact on knees making the sport a good alternative, fantastic for cross training and affordable. Plus you also get to see cool things like turtles, dolphins and fish.
Who’s it best for?
No previous outrigging experience is required, but swimming skills are essential.
Anyone aged 12 years and over is welcome. Minors require a signed consent form from a parent/guardian. Competitive paddlers are welcome too!
