Hal Rosoff Classic

1 Whitecliffs Drive, Newport Beach, CA, USA

Join us for the 30th Annual Hal Rosoff Classic!

Celebrate three decades of racing, community, and legacy at one of Southern California’s most beloved outrigger events. Hal Rosoff Classic honors Hal Rosoff and his family, whose unwavering support has helped grow and sustain the sport of outrigger canoe paddling in our region. Their dedication continues to carry on the legacy of THE HAL.

This year’s race shirt colors are inspired by the iconic Royal Hawaiian Hotel in Waikīkī—a place Hal and his family loved and visited often.
