Our experienced paddlers and coaches will help you get started, and no previous paddling experience is required. We ask all paddlers to arrive 15 minutes before the session start time to help get the boats on the water, and to allow an additional 15 minutes after the session to assist with packing equipment away.
Equipment
Getting started is easy. We have club paddles and life jackets available for new paddlers to borrow while you're learning and until you're ready to purchase your own equipment. Simply wear comfortable clothing that is suitable for getting wet, such as activewear, and bring a water bottle to stay hydrated. We also recommend bringing a hat, sunscreen and a change of clothes for after training.
Racing Opportunities
Port Hacking Outriggers participates in regattas and events throughout the year. Our members regularly compete in State, National and International competitions, including both Sprint and Marathon events. Whether your goal is social paddling, improving your fitness, or competing at the highest level, there are opportunities for everyone.

All paddlers are also required to hold a current membership with AOCRA (Australian Outrigger Canoe Racing Association), the national governing body for outrigger canoe racing in Australia.
