A Surfing Canoe is a 4 person outrigger canoe or OC4. Much shorter than a traditional 6 person outrigger canoe this hull has more rocker, or a banana shape, to allows it to turn easy and surf waves without being out of control. Higher gunnels and wider hull also provide for a better canoe surfing experience over a traditional six person outrigger canoe.
We LOVE Surfing… and we LOVE paddling Outrigger Canoe…. so it goes without saying that we LOVE Canoe Surfing! We’d love to share that stoke with you. Now you can feel exhilaration of catching a wave without having to be on a surf board, just stay seated and enjoy the ride! Our canoe guides are competitive outrigger canoe paddlers and steersman’s so you’ll be in good hands. Guests actively partipcate in launching and landing the canoe as well as paddling throughout the excursion. We’ll pick the best location for your group and go over all the paddling and safety details before we hit the water.
