EQUIPMENT
KAYAKS that we currently used are still the popular polyethylene - Perception Acrobat. We have 17 units. 8 red, 8 yellow and one black. We hope one day that we can afford to buy composite polo kayaks (carbon or carbon+kevlar) due to the fact that they are lighter.

PADDLES that we are currently using are from assorted manufacturers- Bracsa, Double Dutch, Mega and Galasport. Players bought their own composites paddles. KLCS provides basic polo paddles called Shotover (plastik nylon blade with carbon+kevlar shaft)

BALLS that we are currently using is Mikasa due to their high quality over orher made like Molten and LanHua. However, Mikasa polo balls are much more expensive.
