Tuesday, Jan. 9 at 5 p.m. A Special Evening With Tri Bourne You’re invited to meet Tri Bourne, among the world’s elite class of professional beach volleyball players. Tri, who spent most days of his childhood at Outrigger Canoe Club, is now a professional beach volleyball player and has played at the highest levels of the sport, including Olympics and World Championships. Tri will be speaking about some of his experiences, such as making it from our Club’s Baby Court to the Olympics (to fill in for Taylor Crabb), dealing with the health challenges along the way and co-founding SANDCAST Media platform—which features his podcast, YouTube channel and his newest volleyball book “Playbook of Champions.” The Outrigger Canoe Club holds a long and storied place in national and international volleyball history. Although many factors contribute to the Club’s success, the one constant has been the Baby Court at the Club where so many champions like Tri got their volleyball start. Alan Lau, OCC Volleyball

Tuesday, Feb. 20 at 5 p.m. The Iconic Ocean Race With Mark Towill
Join us to discover what it takes to win the world’s longest and toughest team sporting events. Hear from fellow Outrigger Canoe Club member Mark Towill, CEO of 11th Hour Racing Team, the first American sailing team to take home the iconic Ocean Race trophy in the race’s 50-year history. Winning the Ocean Race—often a lifelong dream for those who dare participate—takes exceptional teamwork. Success requires the ability to make split-second decisions, cope with pressure, adapt swiftly to changing circumstances, and above all keep improving. The Ocean Race has been held every three or four years since 1973 with the 2023 race a grueling test covering 32,000 nautical miles around the world. Mark led his team to victory along with his childhood friend and skipper, Charlie Enright, and they did so with sustainability at the core of all operations. The team has traveled the world inspiring positive action for ocean health, and on June 29, 2023, 11th Hour Racing Team won and in doing so, spread the team’s message far and wide. $27++ per person
