WHAT IS KE ALOHA?

Ke Aloha Outrigger is passionate about the rich history and diversity surrounding the culture of outrigger canoeing. Ke Aloha is the outrigger partner of the non-profit organization Hoboken Cove Community Boathouse. Our mission is to ignite interest and facilitate public access to the waterways of New York and New Jersey through first-rate watersport programs and education. We strive to deepen knowledge and awareness of outrigger canoeing’s Polynesian roots and its extensive global reach, and foster such by providing a safe, inclusive and encouraging environment for each individual to engage in team spirit, athleticism, and sense of “ohana”, or family, through the sport of outrigger canoeing.
