series of ‘Novice
Programs’ to introduce new paddlers
to the sport of Outrigger Canoeing.
We make sure there are always plenty of experienced
paddlers and coaches on hand to make your first
paddle an enjoyable learning experience. More importantly,
it will ensure you have the right technique and
skills so your paddling will continue to improve.
The program is an introduction to the skills, traditions
and social activities that are a part of outrigger
canoeing and will be held over a six week period
at Balmoral Beach.
What you will
learn in the course:
- Learn the basics of a good paddling stroke

in the boat
