I play Canoe Polo since 1999, firstly I really appreciated the fact to play outside in open country a team ball sport. I should say that in my firsts years of canoe polo, I had a very rustic material. The princip of our club was to give good material if you train and improve well… I did and year after year I had the chance to have better material. I’m paddling for 9 years in DPP models now. I finally had the chance to use every model and really appreciate the evolution of the form and construction. If I look backward, I think the DPP evolution boat was in total adequation with the game evolution and that was really easier for me to try to improve my level in this way ! For exemple, I think now the new diamond is for me the best boat for the time shoot rule. It turns fast, it goes fast and it’s definitly a versatile boat for offense and defense. I can express myself on it ! Mor’over, close to all these technicals advises, I should say that was also the occasion to know more about Wouter OTTJES, the DPP company and also Deventer’s guys who were a perfect support to test Wouter’s boats. After few years of echange with him about what could be better for the boat, how improve the form and a lot of others technicals conversations, I really understood that Wouter is a passionate of Canoe Polo and his first goal is to make the best boat he can just to try to push up again the world canoe polo level ! To my part, I really think that help me to play better. With the DPP boats, I know that I can do things that I cannot do with other boat…
