WHO WE ARE

More Than
A Club.

ohana.

Pale Kai is a competitive outrigger canoe club rooted in Hawaiian culture and sprouted on the Central Coast in 1996. We train hard, race hard, and take care of each other on and off the water.

As members of SCORA we race from San Diego to Santa Barbara across novice and veteran divisions all season long.

WE'RE PADDLING IN PARADISE.
