Outrigger Santa Cruz (OSC) is a 501(3c) non-profit organization whose mission is to develop, implement, and promote outrigger canoe paddling for all people without regard to age, gender, creed, ethnicity, or physical ability or disability.
You may have seen our canoes at the Santa Cruz Harbor near the Crow’s Nest, racing across the bay to Monterey in one of our many long distance races, or at the Polynesian festival at the Santa Cruz Wharf.
