OzVue Report: Exploring the Thrill of Outrigger Canoeing with Lokahi Outrigger Canoe Club .
Outrigger canoeing, an exhilarating water sport that combines teamwork, endurance, and the serenity of nature, took centre stage at The Little Burley Market this past weekend. Lokahi Outrigger Canoe Club hosted an engaging and inclusive event, welcoming participants of all experience levels to try their hand at paddling across the picturesque Lake Burley Griffin.
The session began with an informative briefing from the club’s skilled coach, who ensured all participants were well-prepared for their adventure. Groups were formed, and each took turns paddling along designated routes, completing rounds of 2.5 km and 3 km. The synchronization of the paddlers, the rhythmic flow of the water, and the breathtaking lake views created an unforgettable experience.
What stood out was the camaraderie and encouragement shared among participants and the Lokahi team. The club’s dedication to making everyone feel supported, regardless of skill level, was truly inspiring. Their passion for outrigger canoeing shone through in every interaction, motivating participants to challenge themselves while enjoying the journey.
This event highlighted not only the physical benefits of outrigger canoeing but also the sense of connection it fosters—with nature, the water, and fellow paddlers. It’s a sport that is as much about building a community as it is about fitness.
Lokahi Outrigger Canoe Club continues to provide opportunities for Canberrans to explore this unique sport. For anyone looking for an exciting new activity, outrigger canoeing is a must-try.
