Ewa Pu'uloa Outrigger Canoe Club

About

**'Ewa Pu'uloa Outrigger Canoe Club (EPOCC)** is a family-oriented, non-profit organization dedicated to perpetuating the culture of Hawaiian outrigger canoe paddling in the 'Ewa district. Founded in 1998, the club prides itself on instilling values, character, and integrity in its members while providing a safe and supportive environment for youth to learn the ocean. The club utilizes the calm, protected waters of the **Wai Kai Lagoon** for practice, making it an ideal setting for keiki to learn paddling fundamentals safely before venturing into the open ocean. Their youth program (Nā ʻŌpio) focuses on teamwork, water safety, and cultural history. **Program Highlights:** * **Nā ʻŌpio Season (Winter):** Dedicated racing season specifically for youth paddlers (typically ages 10–18). * **Regatta Season (Summer):** Competitive season for the whole family, with divisions for youth (starting from ages 8/10+) through adults. * **Cultural Focus:** Instruction includes canoe etiquette, Hawaiian terminology, and respect for the ocean. **Location:** Practices are primarily held at **Wai Kai Lagoon** and **Pu'uloa Beach Park** in 'Ewa Beach. *(Note: Entrance to practice sites is by invitation/approval only; please contact the club before attending).*
