Etiquette
There are many traditions and customs surrounding the sport of outrigger canoeing. Many of these are based on the Hawaiian tradition of aloha, spirit, respect for your teammates, equipment, customs of the sport, and safety on and off the water. IKOCC members learn and practice these, and take the spirit of respect back into their daily lives.
