: Okay, here's a new topic as the winter doldrums loom: Does anybody know of
: any available polo kayak designs?

: They are made of plastic, kevlar and glass, but why not wood?

Ha! Ha! I knew those guys over there would get you into that. They were real big on polo when we were there before R2K1. Looked like a great way to develop skills.

Lani told us a few guys had used their Pygmies for the sport, but were not as aggressive because they wanted to protect their boats. I don't think there's any reason not to use wood as long as you glassed it well and didn't mind getting the snot beat out of the finish. Wouldn't something more like a white water boat be good or do you need a longer hull for sprinting?
