Join us for a fundraising paddle for Maui. All proceeds from these 1-hour outrigger canoe tours booked for Labor Day weekend will go to families and community-led organizations in Maui.

Javier Placer, one of the founders of Stand Up Paddle Colorado, lives in Maui during the majority of the year and, not only knows people who lost everything in the fire, but also knows grassroots community organizers that have been extremely effective from the beginning in getting goods and aid to those in need. We were planning on doing a major reveal of our Dillon Outrigger Canoe Club for 2024 this Labor Day weekend and thought it would be a great opportunity to get together, paddle, share aloha and do it all for a great humanitarian cause.

If you have questions, please call 970-453-7873 or email javier@standuppaddlecolorado.com.

Stand up paddleboarding is the craze taking on the waterways and we have a fleet of inflatable SUPs for rent – great for all ages – available at Lake Dillon CO! They’re perfect for 2-hour flat water rides around this sprawling Summit County lake.

Be advised that there is a $20 fee per person for sharing rented vessels.

Do you like adventure? Do you want to go fast? Suit up and rent our 14’ pro carbon model SUP board that’s ideal for intermediate-to-advanced paddlers. Its extra length and width make it perfect for sprints and long glides around the lake.

Be advised that there is a $20 fee per person for sharing rented vessels.

Rent one of our one-person sit-on-top inflatable kayaks so you can paddle at your own pace while enjoying the epic views surrounding Lake Dillon. Head out in a group of other paddlers or take a solo trip and get some peaceful alone time under the blue Colorado sky.

Be advised that there is a $20 fee per person for sharing rented vessels.

Take in the awesome 360° views of the mountains surrounding the arms of Lake Dillon with your favorite person! Grab a partner and rent a tandem kayak so you only have to handle 50% of the paddling while getting 100% of the fun.

The price covers the 2 renters of the vessel. Any additional person using the vessel will be charged a $20 share fee.

The DOCC is being started to create a culture and community around canoe paddling in Summit County and Colorado.   First and foremost we honor and pay tribute to the Polynesian peoples and culture for their indelible contributions to the ancient maritime exploration and voyaging of the Pacific Ocean.  It is the goal of the club to approach the canoe with the reverence and respect it merits.  It is our goal to adhere and align with the principles of the Hawaiian Outrigger Canoe Voyaging Society which are as follows…

The club will be member driven and there will be a seasonal, monthly or drop-in  fee which gives access to morning and sunset club paddles as well as gives discounted rates for OC-1s and other crafts we have for rent.  We have two six man canoes which fit up to 12 paddlers.  We will have a daily sign up sheet for club paddles.

We are excited to offer OC-1’s as a premium rental at the Dillon Marina.  Outrigger Canoes are ultra performance crafts meant to cover distances and displace water.  We have canoes from renown Hawaiian shapers, Kai Bartlett (https://www.kaiwaa.com/) and Johnny Puakea (https://puakeadesigns.com/).

The canoes are fragile and need to be carried and used with care.  Experience paddling these crafts is highly recommended because they can tip over easily if you are inexperienced.  Taking a lesson is highly recommended unless can prove to be proficient and able to right if one were to tip over.  All rentals will get a safety and paddle talk.  Rental slot is for 2 hours and include a paddle and pfd.

We are excited to be the first Outrigger Canoe Tour operator in Colorado.  The tour takes place on the majestic Lake Dillon in the heart of Summit County.  The tour begins with a paddle talk that covers canoe history, culture and terminology associated with its Polynesian roots.  We will talk a little about the history of Dillon Reservoir as well as point out many of the stunning and scenic peaks that can be seen from the lake.
