Conveniently
located at the Toronto Sailing and Canoe
Club , just west of Ontario Place, the TSCC Outrigger group has
existed for over 10 years and regularly participates in races in Canada
and the United States. Our members have excelled in many paddling events including the prestigious Liberty World
Challenge, the World Masters Games, the Yukon River Quest, Queen
Lil'uokalani(Hawaii), and the Texas Water Safari. Our group also hosts
the Toronto Harbour International Outrigger Challenge, a 23+ km race
around Toronto Island which is the largest outrigger canoe race in
eastern Canada.
New entry level participants are welcome.
We are a dedicated
group of paddlers with a focus on developing efficient techniques and
strategies for endurance paddling. With experienced coaches and
paddlers, we have translated this approach into a winning record in
various types of outrigger canoes. Our paddlers usually placed in the
top three in the 6-person outrigger canoe races we enter.
This sport represents
an excellent source of exercise and aerobic conditioning for
participants of all ages. It's synergies are compatible with many other
forms of canoeing, kayaking, and non-water sports such as Nordic
skiing. Please come out and experience this rapidly growing sport.
