International Canoe Polo Tournament This Weekend!

Thursday April 17, 2008

Perhaps one of the coolest things to do in a kayak is to play Canoe Polo. I know, it's as confusing as trying to figure out why we drive on a parkway yet we park on a driveway...but I digress. A detailed, yet veiled, history is the reason behind why kayaks are used even though it is called Canoe Polo. Consider this post a way to wet your appetite. Here's what you need to know right now. There is a sport called Canoe Polo, it is played in kayaks, and it's REALLY exciting.

Don't worry, I am planning a piece on this obscure sport in the near future. Now that I've peaked your interest, here's the real reason for this post. The next Canoe Polo event is an International Tournament to be held in Montigny France this weekend. Check it out and learn more about this great paddling sport by visiting the International Canoe Federation website.
