SUPER AWESOME: The Waboba Ball
The Waboba Ball goes into my list of coolest things I’ve ever seen.
Basically, the Waboba Ball is a ball made of polyurethane with a lycra coating. Because of that material, the Waboba Ball is able to float and bounce on top of water! You have to see it to believe it! It’s like skipping a stone on the water’s surface, except of course, that it’s a ball!
However, because of the delicate nature of the materials used, don’t expect the ball to stand up to a beating on concrete or gravel!
Check out the videos below of the ball in action!
If you want to buy one, it’ll cost you about $8.50 USD. But man, I’d consider that fairly cheap for a ball that looks like this much fun in the water!
Oh, and if you’re interested, the Waboba company also makes a towel that has ultra-fast drying and water-absorbing capabilities. Made out of the same functional materials as the Waboba Ball, the towel can keep everything in your bag dry and save you space in your bag for more important stuff — like MORE Waboba Balls!
