Boat Ball
When you see some sports you just wonder: Who came up with this?

The same question came to my mind just a minute ago when I found out that there is a such thing as Boat Ball.

Basically you sit in a plastic canoe/kayak and play football. Only that you use a paddle instead of your feet. There is a goal and of course you have to score as much as possible.
And you have to wear a helmet and a life jacket.

And this is nothing new, no this has been going on since well before 1875. It was called water polo, canoe polo and todays it's still called canoe polo but also boat ball.
The history of canoe polo is quite interesting actually, you can imagine how this sport was fun and still is.

The rules are not that difficult and I must say it seem like a lot of fun! If I come across this I would definitely like to try. It seems like a great work out!

Who came up with it I didn't manage to find out but I did find a sport that looks much more fun than I thought it was.

If you are a fan of canoing and polo then this might be your sport.
