While we were out for a morning paddle, this gannet was out for breakfast. Gave us a little show just off Williamstown Beach.

Come and join us on Sunday mornings. Get in touch if you want to give outrigger paddling a try.

It's awesome to be out on the water but it's also a great feeling coming home.

If you want to experience the same feeling, ask us about our upcoming Open Day where you can come and see what outrigger paddling is all about.

Come grab a Bunnings Warehouse snag at Altona North today and ask us about trying outrigger canoeing.

OPEN DAY COMING SOON!

Come and support Kai'Opua tomorrow at Bunnings Altona North!

We're running the BBQ so grab a sausage and stop for a chat about when you can join us on the water for a gorgeous sunset paddle like this one.

Nine paddlers out this morning so we took a six-seater and our three-seater. Little bit of a bumpy ride but a good paddle was had by all.

We have an Open Day coming up soon so get in touch if you'd like to come and try paddling an outrigger canoe.

Spring is here! Looking forward to warmer weather.

Our Come And Try Day is coming up soon, so if you're not too far from the Hobson's Bay area and want to give waka ama (outrigger canoeing) a go we'd love to hear from you!

An epic day for the Kai Opua team today competing in the 12km Sandridge Bay Classic. It was awesome being out on the water with around 100 craft; from outriggers to surf skis to SUP boards.

Everyone fought hard and we managed to finish in just under 1.5hrs. no podium today but plenty of pride.

Thanks to the organisers and sponsors for an awesome event.

All up with the course, the warm up and the 3km commute to and from Sandridge, the team paddled around 20km in total. Go team!

29/08/2026

Mālama all loaded up and ready to go for the Sandridge Bay Classic tomorrow morning.

If you're in the Port Melbourne area, head down to Sandridge Beach at 10am to see hundreds of paddlers take to the water.
