Duke Kahanamoku leads U.S. team into 1920 Olympic Games
Duke Kahanamoku leads U.S. team into 1924 Olympic Games

For a small club located 2,500 miles from the nearest land mass, the Outrigger Canoe Club has produced more elite athletes than would be expected.  Club athletes have excelled in local, state, national and international competitions.  The best of these athletes have gone on to represent the Club, Hawaii and the USA in the Olympic Games.

They have earned medals in both water and land sports including swimming, diving, water polo, canoe and kayak, and sailing, as well as volleyball and beach volleyball, weight lifting, foil, and shooting.

Others have coached U.S. Olympic teams.

Outrigger members have earned 37 Olympic medals (18 Gold, 13 Silver and 6 Bronze), more medals than many countries. The medals earned by these athletes is a testament to the talent and hard-work of these men and women, and the coaches who trained and believed in them. Outrigger is proud of these fine competitors many of whom still call the Outrigger Canoe Club home.
