We use WW kayaks.  I unfortunately don't know the rules to kayak polo.  We
are not allowed to paddle with the football, but can dribble it by throwing
it at least 5 ft ahead of our boat.  You can only score by passing.
Blocking with a paddle is OK as long as you don't throw the paddle.  You can
dump other paddlers if they can roll.  This part can turn into quite an
event for the really good WW paddlers.  Eskimo rescues all around for the
non rollers who self dump.
I was flat run over by a WW canoe last night and was forced into my first
must do off side roll.  It worked out well.  I was pinned against the bank
and could only go one way.  The rocks my hands scraped against convinced me
to buy a good helmet.
