The Shuswap Rowing and Paddling Club (SRPC) supports Outrigging with two OC6 (six-person Outrigger Canoes) and two OC2 (two-person Outrigger Canoes). This sport appeals to people of all ages and skill levels. We provide life jackets, paddles and basic coaching and training clinics throughout our season (May 1 to August 30).

Outrigging has set schedules for recreational paddling and offers opportunities for members who wish to form competitive teams for races in BC, Canada and internationally. Members who compete in races must be a member of CORA – the Canadian Outrigger Racing Association.

For further information please contact our Outrigger director at outriggerdirector@gmail.com
