About Us...

Columbia River Outrigger Canoe Club (CROCC) was founded in 1992 and was the first dedicated outrigger canoe club in Portland and the Northwest. Through the years the club has remained dedicated to the spirit and traditions of outrigger canoeing. Our main goal is to have fun, though we also thrive on thrills of competitive racing.

Our mission: To encourage, sustain, and perpetuate outrigger canoe paddling, racing and the related Hawaiian traditions. We strive to embrace and nurture the community through inclusiveness and all skill levels in order to teach and improve paddling technique and to maximize enjoyment of the sport.

CROCC welcome all new paddlers whether you have previous experience or not. The team has decades of experience and passion for this unique and growing sport.

Join us for a paddle!
