Welcome to the San Juan Island Outrigger and Kayak Club

Offering regular workouts, special events and inter-island adventures for the San Juan Island, WA community.  Join us.

Paddle with us!

If you are interested in paddling with the club or trying out an outrigger canoe, contact us! Novices are always welcome.

Join the fun!

  • When: Tuesdays & Thursdays @ 5:30pm; Sundays @ 10am
  • Where: Shipyard Cove Marina, San Juan Island, WA
  • Who: YOU! – Whether you’ve raced the Molokai or never sat in an outrigger, we’d love to have you paddle with us.  We’ll teach you the basics, lend you a paddle and off we go.

Joining the Club

  • Whether you’re a lifelong paddler or looking to try an outrigger or kayak for the first time, you are welcome to join us for the day or a whole season.  
  • Currently our club activities center around our 6-person Hawaiian Outrigger Canoes, a rock-solid safe way to get out on the water.  
  • Some of our members also paddle SUP, kayaks and open-water rowing craft but if you don’t have your own boat, we can always fit you in an outrigger.  We have a No Paddler Left On Shore Policy.
  • For more information, email us at info@sjipaddlesport.com
