Join NowOutrigger canoeing is a team-based water sport that originated in Polynesian culture. You paddle in a canoe with a small float called an "ama" attached to the side, which keeps it stable and balanced. It’s a fun way to get fit, work together with others and enjoy the water, whether you’re on a lake or out in the ocean. At Mana Outrigging Melbourne, we’re all about sharing the stoke of paddling and keeping this awesome tradition alive. Everyone is welcome to jump in and give it a go!
"Mana" is a spiritual energy and life force that connects people, nature, and the divine. It represents strength, power, and prestige, both in individuals and communities. At Mana Outrigging Melbourne, we embrace this concept by fostering a supportive, empowering, and inclusive environment where everyone can grow—on and off the water. Our club name reflects our commitment to building strength, unity, and respect within our paddling community.
