Kayakpolo
0
Hello, seeing as a sport section for the forums has just been put in, i thought it would be relevant if we at least had some unconventional sports in there as well.
and my sport that i play most of all is kayak-polo (yes, i know its proper name is canoe polo, but its played in kayaks...)
Kayakpolo is a team sport, played in small flexible kayaks either on the sea/lakes/rivers (during the summer) or on a inside swimming pool (during the winter). The aim of the game is defend your goal, score goals ... and push the other team into the water, which means it can get a tad hardcore (part of our gear is a very thick life vest and an equivalent to an ice-hockey mask).
in essence, its a mixture of short distance kayak racing, handball and rugby.
If you are interested here is a video about it
and another one just because ...
So i was wondering if there was anybody in the wide world of fakku that knew of/plays kayakpolo and wanted to discuss it... (probably not that many at all, as it is a very un-mainstream sport).
