Welcome to Kupa'a Mau Outrigger Canoe Club (KMOCC) located at Del Mar Beach, Marine Corps Base, Camp Pendleton, Oceanside, California! We look forward to paddling with you, whether you’re interested in an enjoyable new experience or have a more competitive drive. Our paddling community includes a diverse group of canoe clubs and individuals that share a love of the ocean and a desire to experience and learn about the Polynesian culture and the “Aloha Spirit.” Paddling is fun, exciting, and even exhilarating at times - and paddlers are surely known for having a good time!

The name Kupa'a Mau is the Hawai'ian translation of the U.S. Marine Corps motto Semper Fidelis, Latin for “Always Faithful.”

The mission of Kupa'a Mau Outrigger Canoe Club is to maintain and perpetuate ancient Polynesian culture through the promotion of competitive, national, and international outrigger canoe paddling;

To provide resources, activities, and amenities to develop and maintain strong, healthy minds, bodies, and spirits;

To strengthen the local and military communities by developing an environment founded on teamwork and the military leadership principles of discipline, respect, and honor; and

To foster trust and respect for each other, the Polynesian culture, the canoe, and the ocean.

"Every race is an occasion for the celebration of team spirit, meeting the challenge of competition, the test of determination, and the solidarity of club pride." Kawika Sands
