Each year the Outrigger Canoe Club Canoe Racing Committee creates slogans for regatta season. The slogans appeared on the race shirts worn by Outrigger paddlers during the season. Some years there were no slogans but generally the themes reflected the attitude of the coach and the committee. Here are the slogans that we found.
