Welcome to Tamalpais Outrigger Canoe Club
Tamalpais Outrigger Canoe Club is a non profit organization which provides instruction in basic and advanced techniques in the sport of outrigger canoeing. We provide the tools for you to experience all the tradition and excitement this sport offers.
TOCC consists of a diverse group of individuals whose focus is to perpetuate the sport of Hawaiian outrigger canoe paddling throughout the San Francisco Bay Area.
TOCC is a member of both the Northern California Outrigger Canoe Association
(NCOCA) and the International Polynesian Canoe Federation (IPCF), which govern both international and domestic events.
TAM HISTORY- TOCC was formed in 1993 by Susan "Susea" Grant with support from a former teammate Daphne Hougard. Susea's vision of starting TOCC came after relocating to the Bay Area from Southern California, where she paddled and raced with
Marina del Rey Outrigger Canoe Club for 23 years.
It was there under the guidance of coaches Steven Kekuewa and Sandy Kahanamoku (nephew of the famous Duke Kahanamoku), that Susea was fortunate enough to race in the first women's Molokai-to-Oahu channel race, also referred to as the Na Wahine O' Ke Kai (The Women of the Sea).
