    Saturday, June 16
    Bayou City Outdoors Kayak Polo
    6:00 pm - on
    288 Lakes - 4800 Schurmier Houston, Texas 77048
    It's Back...Kayak Polo! (aka: Houston Water Hockey)
    Haven't played before? Two teams of five to ten players paddle kayaks and pass a water polo ball using their hands and paddle. The object of the game is to throw the ball into the goal of the opposing team & to have a whole lot of fun while you are doing it. Players cannot paddle while holding onto the ball. They can only hold the ball for five seconds before they must pass or dribble. While one team passes the ball... Who needs rules??
    (you''ll want to know how to roll, wet exit or use an open boat)
    Bayou City Outdoors has taken a perfectly good sport - kayak polo, and turned it into and awesomely fun event. We don't have rules, we just get out on the water and have a good time. If you are new or you don't know how to roll your kayak, we'll take it easy on you. If you are an experienced paddler, well... everything is fair in love and kayak polo.
    If you are joining us for the SUP Lessons earlier in the day stick around and play. We should have some extra boats and equipment for you to try out. Or, you can just watch. It makes for a enjoyable spectator (and heckler) sport.
    Please RSVP at www.BayouCityOutdoors.com (calendar) so we know how many boats to bring!

    Notes "The Art of Living is to gain this ability in life - it's very simple, just a skill - the ability to free your mind of the past, to free your mind of the future fears, and to be able to play with every situation that is in front of you, to be able to take every situation that is in front of you." -- Sri Sr Ravi Shankar, founder of the Art of Living Foundation
