MAKE EVERY STROKE COUNT
Kana Lui is an outrigger canoe club based on Virginia Key, just 10 minutes from downtown Miami. Founded in September 2004, our mission is to grow and share the sport of outrigger canoe paddling in the Miami area.
Outrigger paddling is an endurance water sport rooted in Hawaiian tradition. While it can be extreme in rough ocean conditions, we’re fortunate to train on the calm, scenic waters of Biscayne Bay.
We welcome adults of all ages who are fitness-minded, adventurous, and eager to experience a competitive sport that celebrates the aloha spirit and the Hawaiian tradition of a strong, extended ʻohana (family).
Practice Schedule
We practice year-round at the Miami Rowing Center home to many of the city’s paddling clubs.
Monday & Wednesday evenings: 5:30 PM – 7:45 PM
Saturday mornings: 7:15 AM – 10:30 AM
New to outrigger paddling? Non-members are welcome to join three free practice sessions to experience the sport and meet the team before becoming a member.

What’s behind Kana Lui’s name?
Kana was a 12 th century Hawaiian warrior from Hilo, on the Big Island. He was entrusted by his father, the then chief of Hawaii (Hakalanileo), to command a fleet of 500 canoes in an assault of Haupu, a stronghold on the rugged coast of Molokai, to rescue the kidnapped Hina, his mother and the chief’s wife.
Is short for the Saint Louis school in Honolulu which our club’s founder, Tim Streeter, attended. Our Club’s name represents the Spirit of Paddling.
