Welcome to the Maitahi Outrigger Canoe Club
Our passion is outrigger canoeing, also known in New Zealand as "Waka Ama";and in the wider South Pacific region as "Va'a".
Outrigger Canoeing is recognised as one of the fastest growing watersports throughout the Pacific and beyond. It speaks to paddlers physically, spiritually and culturally and it's a great way to experience the sea and nature from a unique perspective.
The Maitahi Outrigger Canoe Club has over 60 members and is based in Nelson, New Zealand (top end of the South Island). It was formed in 2001 and takes its name from the river we know as the Maitai.
Our club caters for all age groups and capabilities, whether you are interested in a leisurely paddle around the haven or in sprint or ocean racing.
We are always looking for new paddlers! If you are keen to give it a go, please contact us.
