"Ka Nai'a... Ka Nai'a... Ka Nai'a, Do it, do it, do it!"
Aloha! Welcome to Ka Nai’a Outrigger Canoe Club of Santa Barbara, California!
Ka Nai'a is an organization of amateur athletes with diverse abilities who represent our city, state, and country by training for and participating in local, national, and international outrigger competitions. Ka Nai'a (Hawaiian for "dolphin") was founded in 1988 and offers instruction, training, and recreation to members of the Santa Barbara community by a certified and extensively experienced coaching staff.
Programs are available for both competitive and non-competitive amateur athletes of all ages. Outrigger canoeing is a sport that has something fun and challenging to offer individuals at all levels. Ka Nai'a facilitates three to four weekly two hour paddling sessions to club members, which includes one free open house session every Saturday at 9 A.M.
Our 2024 season starts on March 2nd. Join us at 9 A.M. on the beach just west of Stearns Wharf for an open house!
