HOW TO PLAY
1

Pair players up, with one sitting on a float or on a partner's shoulders in shallow water, and the other steady in the water.

2

Each rider holds a pool noodle and faces off against another rider.

3

On "go," riders gently tap or nudge each other with their noodles, trying to knock the other off balance.

4

Striking anywhere except the noodle-to-noodle or noodle-to-body tap is not allowed, keeping things safe.

5

The first rider to fall off their float or partner's shoulders loses that round.
