About the Club
As Hong Kong’s oldest private recreational club, and a founding member of the Hong Kong Sports Federation & Olympic Committee, the Club is committed to advancing the enjoyment of water sports, healthy physical activity, and community participation throughout Hong Kong.
Our mission is to be the premier ocean water sports club: raising the profile of paddling and oar sports, nurturing ocean awareness, supporting elite and community athletes, and sharing our passion with Hong Kong—including those who are financially disadvantaged or face physical or mental challenges.
