JC POLO is the result of the passion owner James Mitchell has for all things Canoe Polo and paddling related. He has been involved in Canoe Polo and the Kayaking industry since 1994. Over the last 20+ years where there has been a lack of decent equipment he has used his contacts and skills to source or make the required gear.
