Who We Serve...

Pure Light Racing organizes outrigger canoe paddling for physically challenged individuals.

The paddling sessions are open to anyone with a physical disability, regardless of age, ethnicity, income level or religion. 

However there is a safety protocol in place, requiring all participants to be able to independently access the canoe and swim unaided.
