About The Club

 

Townsville Outrigger Canoe Club Inc. (TOCC) first introduced outrigger canoeing to Townsville in 1990. Our members are a well-respected group of persons pursuing the ideals of the sport. For the past sixteen years the club has progressed from owning one old canoe to a fleet of modern canoes to accommodate the growth within our club.

The club is independent financially and constitutionally and is in a strong financial position through sound financial management, good planning and constructive activities that have attracted new members. We maintain regular social activities to which all outriggers are welcome.
