2026 Hudson River Cup (OC6) 🗽
What an amazing race weekend at HRC hosted by
@kealohaoutrigger @hobocobo 🙌🏼🤙🏼
We couldn’t be more proud of the 3x UNYTED crews who took to the water. This weekend marked the strong debut of our Women crew, taking 5th out of 13 in a remarkable showing. Big congratulations to the
@phillyoutrigger women on a dominant win! 🥇💪🏼🙌🏼
Our two Men crews went toe-to-toe with some of the fastest, well-established outrigger crews from all of east coast (and west coast). Our top Men crew fought their way to 4th out of 12, continuing to build chemistry and closing the gap on that podium with every single race. Meanwhile, our second Men crew showed tremendous heart and growth, soaking up invaluable race experiences. Huge shoutout to our friends at
@nca_outrigger on the well-deserved win! 🥇🤙🏼🙌🏼
People often ask us: “Where and how do you guys train OC6?”
Our answer? We unfortunately have not been able to. (Not yet, anyway! 🥲)
We are a hybrid family of dragon boaters and individual outrigger paddlers. To step into an OC6, adapt on the fly, rely entirely on raw grit and individual skill, and still throw down with some of the best show great potential as a brand new club and we are very excited to continue showcasing what NYC paddlers have to offer in the future.
Quick S/O to
@kentislandoutrigger and
@washingtoncanoeclub for the canoe loans! 🙏🏼
Next up… UNYTED paddlers turn their attention to CCWC in Taiwan 🇹🇼 and they will be at
