10. Hong Kong Island Paddle Club Outrigger Canoeing Outrigger training and racing has now become an important facet of our Club. .From July to January, our Club is fully geared up for canoeing. http://www.hkipc.com/outrig.htm

Outrigger The Paddle Club brought the first outrigger canoes to Hong Kong in the form of two Malias from Vancouver, Canada. The intention was to provide some off-season recreational paddling for our more avid dragon boat paddlers. In the smoldering after glow of the dragon boat race season, however, it did not take long for the desire to race canoes competitively both locally and overseas to grow. Outrigger training and racing has now become an important facet of our Club. From July to January, our Club is fully geared up for canoeing. Many of our local events involve marathon excursions to outer islands and exhibition races - while our annual overseas race itinerary includes the major races in Hawaii, LA and now Micronesia. This summer our club crossed international waters by paddling from Hong Kong to Macau. Our club expanded our flotilla with the arrival of Tai Nui and Quee Queg - our Advantage OC-6's - in 1999, and a mixture of club and member owned OC1’s and OC-2's. It is the birth of OC paddling in South East Asia and we are excited to be a part of it. While Hong Kong’s paddling culture is very much rooted in dragon boating, our success as an outrigger club relies on our interest and respect for local paddling traditions.

Having come earlier to Saipan to prime the sand, sun and waters for the team's arrival, I was able to have a relatively less blurry-eyed view of the build up to the races, and what seemed like moments later, the races themselves. Our team wasn't built in a day, but foundations were laid, brick by brick, until a representation such as we had in Saipan developed. And through all our hard work, we had quite the representation! Not to be distracted by the beautiful blue waters (Hey! That's not a plastic bay, its Marine life!) or by the collective jet-lag, both the men's and women's teams (four in all) kept their focus and technique in check as they paddled their way to standings of 3 Firsts for the men (a sweep of all

///FEATURE STORY Outrigger Canoeing: 'When you get in there, the disability goes away' The Times Outrigger canoeing, practiced for generations in the South Pacific, is fast becoming a popular therapy tool for people with disabilities. The wheelchair could have belonged to anyone. It sat alone and empty on a dock, and shifted slightly each time Lake Lanier swelled beneath the platform's wooden planks. In the background, was the finish tower from the paddling and rowing events of the 1996 Olympic Games. On the water, was the wheelchair's owner, one of six people paddling an outrigger canoe. Some of the bodies in the canoe were abled. Some were disabled. It was impossible to tell which was which.

The 9-meter canoes are replicas of Palauan traditional war canoes. The paddling does not require special experience or skills! On the water you can get close to local wildlife such as the non-aggressive saltwater crocodile, the boa tree snake (there are no venomous snakes in Palau!) and the giant 5-feet long monitor lizard. Gliding through the Rock Islands' mangroves and marine lakes, you will able to spot wild orchids and cicadas, and many birds such as biib, cockatoos, and red and green parrots. Among the plentiful marine life you might have a rare glimpse of the almost extinct dugong, now protected by law.
