Outrigger Canoes

Stand Up Paddle Colorado is the primary source for outrigger canoe experiences that honor the Hawaiian tradition. Bringing the spirit of aloha to the Rocky Mountains with top-tier OC-1 outrigger canoes in our fleet, we invite enthusiasts here in the mountains to join us on the many adventures that we have to offer at Lake Dillon.

Dillon Outrigger Canoe Club

Membership

$20 Drop-in + plus tax
$150 Seasonal + plus tax

Location

Dillon Reservoir

Starting

June 14th

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.
