Membership Dues/Fees

Kai Elua Outrigger Canoe Club is an Amateur, non-profit athletic club based in San Diego, California. We have been in San Diego, on Mission Bay, since 1978. Our club members are athletes who commit their time to be proficient paddlers; and to be competitive with other clubs in California and throughout the Pacific Rim. The club members compete in the Outrigger World Championship in Hawaii as well as in various other international-level events.

Annual dues must be paid in order to be a member in good standings and participate in team practices and races. Off-season recreational paddling is from October to February and is free to new and current paddlers. All paddlers must complete a waiver for each calendar year in order to paddle in Club canoes.
