Welcome to Tamalpais Outrigger Canoe Club

---

TOCC consists of a diverse group of individuals whose focus is to perpetuate the sport of Hawaiian outrigger canoe paddling throughout the San Francisco Bay Area.

TOCC is a member of both the Northern California Outrigger Canoe Association (NCOCA) and the International Polynesian Canoe Federation (IPCF), which govern both international and domestic events.

Background

Side note
The natural beauty of the Marin County inspired Susea to name the club after Mt. Tamalpais, the famous Bay Area mountain whose name is derived from a Native American myth "the sleeping maiden". The club's colors also reflect the beauty of the area: forest green and sky blue.
