About Us

Established in 2011, Bellingham Bay Outrigger Paddlers (BBOP) has become a mainstay for helping to get our local communities out on the water on a regular basis. The club consists of co-ed competitive racing team, a co-ed recreational group and a youth program.  All are dedicated to enjoying the beautiful Pacific Northwest ocean scenery. Outrigger canoes launch from the beautiful waterfront in Fairhaven at the Community Boat Center located at 555 Harris Street in Bellingham.
