Blind Fitness Outrigger Canoe Clinic

Blind Fitness is teaming up with the Makapo Aquatics Project and the Santa Barbara Outrigger Club to offer our first outrigger canoe clinic. The clinic is designed for people who are blind or have low vision, and will be staffed by a trained and professional crew of coaches and volunteers who are passionate about getting everyone on the water to experience the joy of outrigger paddling. Your participation helps spread our mission of empowering people who are blind or have low vision through sports, recreation, and physical activity while educating the public of their abilities.

When: Sunday, September 24th, 9am-11am

Who: All people who are blind or have low vision
