"Speed paddling is the norm in this game. The fact that the ball is always "in play" results in non-stop paddling where blocks and steals can immediately reverse the direction of the play. Paddling 40 yards as fast as you can, or trying to out-maneuver a defender in the end zone 20-30 times, once a week will give you paddling power you never knew you possessed. Paddling endurance increases phenomenally. There are no eddies in boatball. A good boatball game with 8 -12 players for an hour or two will leave you more exhausted than any river paddling."

I'm out. Canoe is in the repair shop, aka my garage. That is of course assuming nobody needs a tandem partner.
