Yesterday I headed out to St Peter’s College in Jersey City for my introduction to kayak polo. I learned about NY Kayak Polo through Tom Potter, who I met at this year’s end of season party for AKT a few weeks ago. Its the first time I’d ever been in a boat in a pool, which was entirely strange, but fun nonetheless. Even though we took it pretty easy yesterday to introduce new-comers like myself to the sport, there is no question that this is a full contact sport – helmets and faceguards required. Exhilirating and exhausting. I’ll be back for more.
