Florida Paddling HUI - Outrigger Canoe

Florida Paddling Hui

One Ocean. One Team. One ʻOhana.

Imagine starting your morning on the ocean. The sun rising, six paddlers moving as one, the rhythm of the waves, and the incredible feeling of being part of a team.

Welcome to Florida Paddling Hui, a Miami-based outrigger canoe team bringing together active, adventurous individuals who share a passion for the ocean, athletic challenges, and teamwork.

Inspired by the Hawaiian traditions of outrigger paddling, we embrace the spirit of ʻOhana — connection, mutual respect, and taking care of one another.

More Than a Workout. A Way of Life.

Outrigger paddling is a true endurance sport that combines strength, technique, mental resilience, and teamwork.

We train with purpose. Our goal is to develop stronger, more skilled paddlers, build competitive crews, and challenge ourselves both individually and as a team.

We welcome athletes from different backgrounds — swimmers, runners, cyclists, rowers, kayakers, and fitness enthusiasts — who are looking for a new challenge and a team to grow with.

No outrigger experience? No problem.

We'll teach you the technique. You bring the fitness, commitment, team spirit, and willingness to push your limits.

The Ocean Is Our Training Ground.

We paddle in real ocean conditions, where wind, waves, and changing water demand adaptability, endurance, and determination.

Our paddlers must be confident swimmers, comfortable in open water, and physically capable of entering and exiting the canoe independently, including from the water.

Who Can Join?

We welcome adults 18 and older with an active lifestyle and a willingness to learn and train as part of a team. No previous outrigger experience is required.

Our introductory events offer an opportunity to discover the sport, while regular team training focuses on developing paddling skills, endurance, and competitive readiness.

Membership & Participation

Introductory events offer an opportunity to experience outrigger paddling and meet our team. Regular team participation involves membership dues, which support our club's activities and training. Membership details are shared with those interested in joining.

Your Crew Is Waiting.

Some people discover a new sport. Others discover a community. And some discover a passion that changes their lives.

Whether your goal is to improve your fitness, develop your paddling skills, or eventually compete, Florida Paddling Hui offers the opportunity to challenge yourself alongside people who share your drive.

Six Paddlers. One Canoe. One Purpose.

Come for the challenge. Stay for the ʻOhana.

Easy to see. Hard to catch.
