Outrigger paddle and snorkle
“An early start but what an awesome experience. From helping set up the outrigger, to Tim’s Hawaiian chant to bless our trip, to catching great waves to ride to shore, what a great time. Seeing the sunrise over Haleakala from the canoe and the view of the west Maui mountains was spectacular. This is a must do and we can’t wait to outrigger canoe surf with Hawaii Paddle Sports again.
Date of experience: February 2018”

What is a surfing canoe?
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.
Why go on a
canoe surfing tour with us?
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.

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.
