Texas Outrigger Canoe Club

Founded in 1987 at Surfside Beach, Texas Outrigger is the first of its kind on the western Gulf Coast. Our club is committed to fostering the Hawaiian Aloha spirit inherent in outrigger paddling which is experiencing rapid growth across the globe. Compared to Hawaii and the West Coast, we are relatively new, and welcoming all paddlers wanting to explore this unique team sport, for racing, recreational, and junior levels.

We are committed to fostering the Hawaiian Aloha spirit inherent in outrigger paddling that is experiencing rapid growth across the globe. The racing teams travel to some of the more popular and scenic race venues in the Northern Hemisphere, and practice four times weekly to ensure maximum preparedness for honorable placement. We also encourage recreational involvement through fitness training and general enjoyment of this heritage water sport. Our usual paddling venue is Clear Lake thru Kemah Channel to Galveston Bay.
