Race League clinics

The Ohana Paddle Club is a 501c3 organization started by people who share the love of stand-up paddle boarding and who want to create opportunities to get together on the water. Most of us met through Mike Wang of Mike’s Paddle, who started the club to help people improve their paddling skill while meeting like minded individuals, which established the foundation of this community group. As the club has grown, we responded to the need for members to take on more responsibility with coordinating activities.

People of all ages, abilities, and skill levels are members of OPC. Our paddling interests are social, competitive, therapeutic, environmental, and spiritual, to name a few. We come from all walks of life with diverse backgrounds and a broad spectrum of experience with being on the water.

Programs

Our program offer a variety of options, including social paddles, race league practices, and even land based events.

 

TOURS

We plan and organize a number of paddle tours all around the bay, Northern California, and soon our local area!

 

Leadership

We offer opportunities to lead social paddles, organize tours, as well as a positions in club management.
