The Outrigger Program offers both recreational and competitive ocean paddling opportunities. The VCKC has two, six-seat outrigger canoes (OC6) which are used to explore the waters around Victoria, on recreational paddles, and for team training and racing. The club also has two Nalu solo craft (OC1's) that are used primarily for training on the Gorge Waterway.

Teams train year round for CORA (Canadian Outrigger Racing Association) races that are held year-round. Race distances range from 1 km, flat-water sprints to 35-km open-ocean iron races. Races are held on Vancouver Island, the lower mainland and on Okanagan Lake. Some competitive teams travel as far away as Hawaii to compete. Paddling, steering, and rigging clinics are offered through the year. Teams also regularly practice the art of righting capsized canoes: huli-pu. Program meetings are held, as needed, to plan events.

Our teams practice regularly for fitness, recreation and race preparations; the practice schedule is updated on a monthly basis. Changes to the schedule may be requested by contacting the Scheduler ,Ann Tarves.
