Virtual Speaker Series | The History and Culture of Outrigger Canoeing

Ke Aloha Outrigger is passionate about the rich history and diversity surrounding the culture of outrigger canoeing. Ke Aloha is the outrigger partner of the non-profit organization Hoboken Cove Community Boathouse. Their mission is to ignite interest and facilitate public access to the waterways of New York and New Jersey through first-rate watersport programs and education. We strive to deepen knowledge and awareness of outrigger canoeing’s Polynesian roots and its extensive global reach, and foster such by providing a safe, inclusive, and encouraging environment for each individual to engage in team spirit, athleticism, and a sense of “ohana”, or family, through the sport of outrigger canoeing.
