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.
