Columbia River Outrigger Canoe Club

Columbia River Outrigger Canoe Club (CROCC) was founded in 1992 and was the first dedicated outrigger canoe club in Portland and the Northwest. Through the years the club has remained dedicated to the spirit and traditions of outrigger canoeing. Our main goal is to have fun, though we also thrive on thrills of competitive racing. As a 501(c)(3) amateur sporting organization we aim to stay true to our mission.

Our mission: To encourage, sustain, and perpetuate outrigger canoe paddling, racing and the related Hawai’ian traditions. We strive to embrace and nurture the community through inclusiveness and all skill levels in order to teach and improve paddling technique and to maximize enjoyment of the sport.
