2008 Race Schedule                      

Our governing organization for outrigger canoe racing in southern California is SCORA, Southern California Outrigger Racing Association, of which we are active members in good standing.

Our 2007 racing season has come to a conclusion.  However, we’re very excited about the 2008 racing season and are expecting to do well. Our racing season begins in May and extends through September.  We will be participating in SCORA sanctioned races from San Diego to Santa Barbara. We will also be taking several teams to Kona, Hawaii for the Queen Lili`uokalani event which is the largest outrigger race in the world. We may also participate in the Super Bowl of outrigger canoe races this year which is a race from Moloka`i to Oahu better know as the Moloka`i Hoe. These races attract worldwide participation and media.
