About the event
Equipment needed:
Canoes
Canoe Paddles - Straight shaft recommended but bent shaft is ok too.
A PFD for each player
A "Dead Fish" - In our case this is two baseball-sized pieces of sponge sewn into some fish scale print fabric; total length is about 14 inches. Use of a real live or dead fish as a dead fish is strictly forbidden.
Score keeping - We used sections of pool noodle attached to carabiners with a short cord. The pool noodles are clipped to and removed from your PFD as points are scored.
