Welcome to Texas Outrigger
History of our Club
Carleton Kruse, Cheryl Cleland, and Karan Cleland co-founded Texas Outrigger Canoe Club (TOCC) in Surfside Beach, Texas in 1987. Over the years, the club moved a couple times and has settled to its current home in Clear Lake Shores, a Houston suburb on Galveston Bay. The club has fostered a fun and athletic ohana, and has sent crews to races from Hawaii to New York and everywhere in between.
