USAA Pendleton Cup Outrigger Challenge

2008 USAA Pendleton Cup Outrigger Challenge flyer

Wow….what a great event!  We've already been asked to come back.   

It was a nice day to be on the water to introduce our sport to the active duty Marines that came out to participate.  We conducted some basic instruction and the races began.  All participants were able to participate in a Sprint style race at least twice for the best times before we conducted our knock off race for 1st, 2nd and 3rd place awards.  The trophies are beautiful.  Check them out along with other event photos on our Photo Gallery page.  A special Mahalo to Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton and Semper Fit for the exciting opportunity and to our very own Nicole Ayan for all her behind the scenes work on this event to assist us in making it the success it was.  And, last but certainly not least, a big Mahalo to Billy Whitford for loaning us canoes, paddles and PFD's and for his continued support of KMOCC. 

Thank you to all of you for a great time and for allowing us to share this sport we love, outrigger canoe paddling.  We look forward to paddling with you in the near future.

Wow….what an absolutely fabulous weekend!  

A special Mahalo to Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton, Semper Fit and the Single Marine Program for the opportunity they afforded us.  This was a remarkable experience and we enjoyed being there and working with all of you (Danielle West, Sergeant Major Wayne Bell, Eddie Hadley and our own John Preston).

In attendance were Single Marines from the Marine Corps Logistics Base, Barstow, Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton, Oceanside,  Marine Corps Recruit Depot, San Diego and the Marine Corps Air Station, Yuma, AZ.  Thank you to all of you for a great time and for allowing us to share this sport we love, paddling outrigger canoes.  Looks like a few people enjoyed themselves enough to practice with us in the near future.  We look forward to paddling with you soon.
