We are a 501(c)(3) charitable corporation and our long range goal is to establish a well rounded program for children and adults that helps to instill the values of Respect, Loyalty, Responsibility, Trust, Friendship, Fairness, and Teamwork which all come with paddling outrigger. We strive to teach and perpetuate the cultural significance of outrigger canoe paddling and are committed to both our members and the community at large. We believe that paddling together builds a strong sense of purpose and friendship that is hard to find elsewhere. Outrigger Hoe Wana'ao is a member of the Southern California Outrigger Racing Association (SCORA). The mission of Outrigger Hoe Wana’ao is to perpetuate and promote the traditions of Hawaiian outrigger canoe paddling through educational, recreational and competitive programs for youth and adults. Outrigger paddling is a wonderful, unique experience. It provides the opportunity to make friends, learn to work as a team, and live a healthy lifestyle by strengthening mind and body.
