9th Island
Outrigger Canoe Club
Paddling Together, Building Ohana — experience the spirit of Hawaiian outrigger canoeing in the heart of the desert.
Aloha in the
Desert
9th Island OCC brings the spirit of aloha and Hawaiian outrigger canoe paddling to Las Vegas. We're a community of paddlers united by the sport of outrigger canoe racing and the cultural traditions that come with it.
"The 9th Island" is the beloved nickname for Las Vegas in the Hawaiian diaspora. We paddle with that identity and pride on the water at Lake Mead.
