Greetings and Aloha!
Kilohana Outrigger Canoe Club is one of Northern California's top Hawai'ian outrigger canoe clubs.
Located in Redwood City, and Fremont, California, Kilohana's paddling family, or ohana, is proud of its diverse membership of different ages, backgrounds, and abilities. Everyone who joins this club will experience the unique Kilohana style of team spirit, athleticism, competitiveness, and fun.
Our canoe race venues span the San Francisco Bay Area, Monterey Bay, Sacramento, and Lake Tahoe.
In addition to the NCOCA-sanctioned canoe races, our club competes in races located in Southern California, including Santa Barbara, San Luis Obispo, and the greater Los Angeles area. Outrigger canoeing season in Northern California usually begins in February and continues through the month of October. Six-man outrigger canoe (V-6) long distance races begin in May, followed by the NCOCA sprint regattas through July, and then long distances races resume until September. During the the fall and winter, many paddlers participate in the Wave Chaser Series races with V-1 and V-2 outrigger canoes.
Every year, select crews of our most competitive paddlers also compete in outrigger canoe races in Hawai'i. These challenging races are the ones our most athletic and experienced paddlers look forward to, especially the Moloka'i Hoe for the men and the Na Wahine 'O Ke Kai for the women. Racing across the Kai'wi channel from Moloka'i to Oahu--a distance of over 40 miles--is the world championships of outrigger canoeing.
Please feel free to browse our web site to learn more about us and outrigger canoeing.
