In December of 2015 Matthew Beauchamp, Steve Krajewski, Shannon Goshorn, and I (Adam Goshorn) headed to the island of Hispaniola to check out the rivers of the Dominican Republic.

Like the unwanted youngest sibling, canoe polo does not get enough love here. But as Pyranha and their sister brand Revenge (http://www.revengepolo.com/) have recently supported a protest against rule changes to the British Universities and Colleges Sport (BUCS) canoe polo championships, I’m going to spread the love.

After a trip up to the Pyranha Factory on Wednesday to catch up with Mat and pick up some new boats we couldn’t wait to let them loose. Thankfully our prayers were answered with some big rain forecast for the Thursday night! With the River Gods delivering we loaded up the new boats and headed …
