Live. Respect. Paddle.
Outrigger canoe paddling with Conjola Stingrays
The outrigger canoe, or va’a, connects us to the water, the wind, all living things that inhabit the lake and the ocean, and each other.

Power paddling sessions start at 6am on Tuesdays and Thursdays. These sessions offer higher intensity paddling to provide a solid workout with the added zen of being on the water. All levels of paddlers are welcome to attend but should expect a continuous workout with essential breaks only and some amazing sunrises.
Social paddling

Social paddling sessions start at 7.15am on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Social paddling sessions offer a good physical workout plus the psychosocial benefits of being part of a crew, improving your technique, having fun, and enjoying the natural beauty of the lake.
Visiting paddlers welcome
Visiting Australian and international paddlers are welcome to paddle with our club.
If you’re a visiting paddler from Australia, you must be covered by AOCRA insurance. If you’re not an AOCRA member, you must sign our waiver form before hitting the water. Attendance is at the Head Coach’s discretion. Contact us ahead of time and let us know about your paddling visit.
