Excitement is building for the upcoming Canoe Blessing and Celebration at Eimeo Beach on Saturday, March 1, 2025, starting from 8:15am. The event will mark the initial blessing of the new Matahina OC6 canoe, which is set to be a significant addition to the Sunset Bay Outrigger Club’s fleet.
After the blessing, participants and spectators will gather at Eimeo Pub to enjoy a celebratory breakfast.
In conjunction with the canoe blessing, the event will launch the Junior Outrigger Program, designed to inspire young paddlers. This new initiative provides a fantastic opportunity for children aged 8 and up to learn the sport of outrigger paddling, build teamwork, and gain valuable skills.
It’s an exciting step forward in encouraging the next generation to develop an appreciation for the sport and the marine environment.
The Canoe Blessing and Celebration will also offer a chance for those new to the sport to try out outrigger paddling. With support from the Gambling Community Grant, the event showcases the continued growth of outrigger paddling in the region.
Participants are encouraged to bring a water bottle, a hat, and a long sleeve rashie or nippers stinger suit to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience.
Join the Canoe Blessing and Junior Outrigger Program launch at Eimeo Beach on March 1, 2025, and celebrate the arrival of the new Matahina OC6 canoe.
