Hi paddlers!
There will be a plan of OC1 race in Russia.
Date: Saturday 15th, August, 2015
Location: Russkii Island, Vladivostok, Russia
https://goo.gl/maps/er0tz
It will be 64 KM OC1 Relay of two paddlers around the island.
There will be prize money, too.
Inland transportation, accommodation, and OC1 will be provided by the host.
Organizers are seeking for inviting any international paddlers.
If there are anyone interested in, please contact following person, or me.

I am doing some research on the various unlimited OC6 models out there. There is some material scattered here and there (mostly glowing single race accounts connected to manufacturers’ own sites), but I thought it might be useful to me and others if we could aggregate some thoughts here from people’s experience of training, racing and living with them day in and day out.
As we post, could the poster also indicate where/what kind of water they paddle most of the time?

Hi guys,
I have a Hurricane OC1 the steering cable of which needs changing. The whole steering system is stretched and old and it wouldn't turn steer properly to the left. So I bought a new set, and searched for documentation. I did find one, but got stuck because I didn't find it as easy to do as I assumed.
So I'd be direct in asking a rather insipid question: how do you take out the plastic tiller from the rudder/cable section using a 2.5 allen key?

Does anyone out there know the website address for the Outrigger Canoe Club in Hiroshima, Japan?
I`m from Vancouver, BC Canada and am living in Kochi, Shikoku. I am looking for a used OC1.
Thanks.

I might have an opportunity to spend some time in Okinawa. Are there any clubs there?

We are again working on much smaller one man.

Would like to see how the REAL paddlers react.
Thanks and Arigato.

Hello and ??????to all Outrigger Paddlers here in Japan! I am from Vancouver, BC CANADA and live in Kochi Prefecture on the Island of Shikoku. ?????????????????????????????????????
How would you like to come to Kochi to Paddle together?????????????????We can paddle on the Niyodo or Shimanto River OR out on the Open Ocean!

I`m a Canadian from Vancouver, BC Canada currently living in Kochi, Shikoku. I am considering moving to a small town called Kanonji in Kagawa Prefecture, Shikoku. Does anyone have experience paddling OC-1/OC-6 in the Inland Sea between Honshu and Shikoku, Japan? I hear this is a very beautiful area.
I want to live somewhere that offers great local paddling. Which place is better for Outrigger Canoeing -- the South coast of Shikoku OR the Inland Sea? Is paddling safe and allowed in the Inland Sea considering I believe it is used as a main shipping route with lots of ship traffic.
