If you’re looking for an athletic challenge, consider trying outrigger canoe paddling and stand up paddleboarding, team sports with deep roots in Polynesian culture. Ranging from the recreational to the competitive paddler, New York Outrigger offers a variety of free and low-cost training programs focused on educating new and experienced paddlers on how to safely navigate local waterways.

New York Outrigger, a volunteer-driven, non-profit educational organization, provides instruction and equipment for outrigger canoeing and stand up paddleboarding from the Manhattan Community Boathouse at Pier 96. Outrigger canoeing is a great team activity—try it and you may get hooked.
