You’ve seen our boats on the water, in the gorge and the harbour, and thought “that looks so fun”! Well....it is! Here is your opportunity to give it a try and learn the basics. The Introduction to Outrigger courses are 1.5 to 2 hour sessions that will introduce you to outrigger canoe paddling. You’ll learn all about the boats, the paddling stroke, and how to navigate the Victoria inner, middle and outer harbour. 

Paddles, lifejackets and all the equipment you will need to learn will be provided. 

At the conclusion of this course, you will have the option to come out to a practice with either the Horizon or Meridian team to see how it feels to paddle with an experienced crew!

This program is coached by a team of coaches with years of experience coaching and paddling outrigger.  We love the sport and are excited to introduce new people to Outrigger.

​This program is FREE!.  Each session is a stand alone introduction to the sport but if there is space new paddlers are welcome to join in more than one!

Space is limited to 15 per session so please only register for those sessions you are certain to attend.
