Our Club

Welcome to Mooloolaba Outriggers

From our humble beginnings on the banks of the Mooloolah River on the Sunshine Coast of Queensland, Mooloolaba Outrigger Canoe Club has grown to around 200 members hailing from Brisbane to Noosa. Our teams will be competing around the world in all divisions, we are one of Australia’s largest and strongest.

We are immensely proud of the number of Junior members we have attracted and the success of our Junior development has finally seen the transition of our Juniors into award-winning Open division paddlers.

Combining Australia’s reputation as one of the leading countries in the world within ocean sports and the huge growth currently being experienced by outrigger paddling, the future of the sport here in Mooloolaba is in safe hands. Add to that our impressive track record, and our beautiful location, Mooloolaba Outrigger Canoe Club is the place to be!
