Hosted by O Kalani Outrigger – Alameda, CA
On Saturday, May 4, 2024, O Kalani is kicking off the NCOCA outrigger racing season with a twist! We’re running a few standard 3 mile and 6 mile events and one coed mashup event. This last event will randomly shuffle paddlers among different club crews and offer a fresh and dynamic race!
Club registrars, use the NCOCA registration site to register your crews by Wednesday, May 1, 11:59 PM. Bring paddler NCOCA ID cards on race day to check in crews.
Register your coed crew(s). Your stroker and steersperson (1M, 1F) will stay with your club’s canoe, and seats 2-5 will be randomized amongst all participating clubs. Paddlers will line up next to canoes and shuffling will happen in an orderly process with instructions from the race director. This mashup crew will complete 3 miles.
Each paddler will pay a flat fee ($25) and race as many times as they (or their coach) desire! We ask that clubs count the number of participating paddlers and provide a check made out to NCOCA the morning of the event, or via Zelle to (link), to cover club fees. Be honest with your headcount when calculating fees – we can always audit after the event!
We’re trying to reduce waste! Awards will consist of a photo-op in O Kalani’s yard and home-baked goodies! Note: divisions with insufficient entries will be combined with the next-lower age division.
Bring your spray skirts, which may be required depending on conditions. You must have six PFDs and a tow rope in each canoe.
Event parking will be located at the nearby back lot. Navigate apps to W Hornet Ave & Skyhawk Street., Alameda, CA. Please don’t park in the Encinal Boat Ramp main lot.
