Panamuna Outrigger Canoe Club was officially founded in April 1992. We have members and regular training sessions on the Sunshine Coast (Mooloolaba)and Brisbane (Shorncliffe). Panamuna is derived from an Aboriginal word meaning Ocean and we enjoy some of the countries premier venues for the sport, enjoying all weather access to open water or the calm of local rivers and canals.
We are a grass roots club, that prides itself on keeping participation safe and enjoyable; our club fees and structure, reflect an open policy in encouraging individuals from all walks of life to join and enjoy the benefits of this great sport. We encourage both social and competition memberships, in an effort to support the needs of the community.
Panamuna Outrigger Canoe Club members range from young teens to 60 years. If you would like to learn more come along for a paddle. New Members are always welcome.

2011 Season Summary from Coach Carmel Clayton
End of marathon season
The 2011 Schweppes Hamilton Island Cup has seen the last outrigger race for the 2011 season and we can now take a break from those ungodly 4.30am wake-up calls & freezing cold water starts for a few weeks. Enjoy your winter break as preparation is starting soon for the coming season as Panamuna kick starts the OC1/2 Series as host of Race 1 of 6 on 13th August 2011.
Most outstanding crew and Top Performance Panamuna Team 2011
In only seven short months this motley crew of outrigger paddlers have come from slapping the water to skating on ice to win the SQ Premier Novice Men division for 2011 AND topping the points chart winning the PANAMUNA Top Performance Team for the season.
Congratulations to the novice guys Ben Robertson, Sergey Kinchin, Mark Wright, Damien Clohsey, Adam Torrens, Barney Barnes and steersmen Russell Mahon & Alison Martin (girl power)
Stepping up from Novice Coach to complete my first year as Club Coach of Panamuna has passed so very quickly and I have found the season to be both challenging and rewarding.
I would like to thank all the Panamuna paddling Ohana for making me feel so very welcome and I look forward to working on achieving even greater goals for us all in our coming 20th Anniversary season in 2012.
Carmel Clayton, Coach Panamuna OCC
