"The purpose of life is to live it, to taste experience to the utmost, to reach out eagerly and without fear for newer and richer experience."
Eleanor Roosevelt
The non-compete program offers the opportunity to learn and enjoy the sport of outrigger canoeing. We have paddlers of all ages and fitness levels within this program.
This program is for you if you are a:
* Novice paddler
* Seasoned paddler interested in racing but does not have any racing experience
* Seasoned paddler NOT interested in racing but truly enjoys on water exercise, health benefits and camaraderie earned through a team sport
All members will learn the history of outrigger canoeing, terminology, canoe care and maintenance, and of course, paddling technique. As a HUI (team) we work together to improve our fitness and while building camaraderie with your fellow paddlers. For paddling technique, you will learn the different phases of the outrigger stroke, power application, and correct body position while synchronizing the stroke together as a team. You will also learn about proper nutrition, training techniques, how your heart rate affects your training, and how to tailor your training to achieve optimal results.
Should you desire to participate in competitive racing, this program establishes the fitness, commitment expectations and training needed to transition to our Compete Program.
The most important feature is our desire for our paddlers to enjoy the experience of hard work and effort both physical and mental. Regardless we believe having FUN is the key to our success and making our HUI unique from other clubs. We believe in paddling and working hard together but more importantly enjoying what we are doing and enjoying the company of people we are with.
