- For all of our friends getting outrigger canoes this fall and spring, we wanted to share a brief "How To" just in case you weren't sure how to rig your new Outrigger Canoe! Erik takes the time to show proper outrigger canoe rigging on the Puakea Designs Ehukai from Outrigger Zone. As always, Call the shop if you have any questions!
Hey guys - have you ever built or assembled an outrigger system for a race sup?
Really nice one, I wondered if I can get one as in Australia there is nothing like that. Would you be able to help me to find a place where I can buy it online? Please. Thanks
Ofcourse: Hawaii’s Canoe builders ship worldwide. Theres also the cheaper Chinese v bagged outriggers and for beginners (outrigger canoes are hand made carbon fibre athletic boats and not cheap) some might prefer that route. The builders/designers all have online websites. Know what your needs are. There’s flat water builds and rough water builds. Certainly different size outriggers although hull width variantions are minimal: having the correct fit maeks all the difference in safety handling and enjoyment. I paddle a Kai Wa’a - his latest model is a flat water model; mine is the Ares (probably most popular but a couple years old). Kai Wa’a is in Maui; I think Puakea designs (good boats) are both in Hawaii and US Mainland; Hoku & Ozone also ship worldwidie. Know your weight too.spend time w/ ocean paddler; kanu culture; various sources that will be helpful. You are looking at a minimum $5k USD outlay to get up and running. Depending on how much other gear you need (travel racks for auto; paddles; accessories; add just another $1K total). Much less than the motor jst skis and much healthier for you and others around you above and below the surface. Social Media have 2nd hand buy & sell groups. If you are complete beginner - you are looking for either an OC-1 (1 man outrigger canoe) OC-2 (2man) or surf ski ( similar hull w/out outrigger). have fun.
