North Shore Outrigger Canoe Club
The outrigger canoe—whose hull is attached on one side to a float, or ama, for added stability in rough open water— has been used for transportation in the Pacific for centuries. Contemporary outrigger canoe racing has its roots in Hawaii; according to Kanu Culture, an Australian-based magazine devoted to the sport, canoe racing was a form of entertainment and pride for Hawaiian villages. In 1908, the Honolulu-based Outrigger Canoe Club became the first such modern-day club to be founded in Hawaii.
"It's wonderful to see Manhattan from another point of view," said Ilana Lobet, 53, an Upper West Side resident who owns a custom-framing business. She began paddling in 2002 as a way to train for the Eco-Challenge adventure race in Fiji. "I've lived here since 1976. Out on the water, the scene is always different."
MAcross the country in the Golden Gate National Recreation Area, where the San Francisco Outrigger Canoe Club hits the beach, outrigger canoeing has also adapted to its sometimes challenging environment. "It's actually very exciting to paddle here in the Presidio," said the club's president, Phil Siaris, who founded the club in 1988. "One thing you can always count on is the wind and fog, especially during summer evenings. But that's what makes it San Francisco." The club, one of the most established in the country, trains year-round and has 60 to 150 active members; the number tends to go up as summer approaches and the official race season progresses.
That spirit and a bit of humor, too, also draw Mr. Meyer, of the New York club. "Every year we have a luau—and I do admit, we probably embarrass the culture a bit," he said. "Seriously, though, I'm not a big fan of watching people emulate what they don't understand. The most important thing to us is that there's a lot of soul involved in the paddling culture. The Hawaiian energy and spirit is what makes the sport so attractive—here, the first thing is always the connection, to one another and to the elements."
