Dragon Boat & Outrigger Canoe since 2010
Since 2010, South Lantau Paddle Club has been enriching and growing paddlers from beginners to professionals while fostering a love for the ocean and the Hong Kong paddle community. Representing over 20 nationalities, SLPC focuses on the paddler as a whole—from strengthening community bonds, building physical fitness, and promoting life-long appreciation for our Hong Kong waters.
From our headquarters and training center at Pui O Beach, our paddlers come together weekly for both Dragon Boat and Outrigger Canoe training sessions, as well as attend monthly events to support our local community, all while keeping our club presence alive and familiar to all on Lantau.
We are proud to have our HQ in the greenest area of Hong Kong and to provide a deep interaction with sea, land and wildlife. We are a diverse group of paddlers representing many different countries, professions, and walks of life.
