Product Description
The waboba ball is made of polyurethane and has a lycra coating. The mix of different polyurethanes makes the ball bounce and float on water. The ball is made to endure some rough handling, but do not bounce it on the ground or on walls etc.The ball is CE marked. It is not recommended for use by children under 3 years. The Beach Game. The easiest way to have fun with a wabobaball is to simply throw it so that it bounces on the water between you. Try different angles, catching it with one hand, bouncing it on waves etc. The idea of the game is to pass between team members, three in each team, without loosing the ball to the other team. When all team members have caught the ball at least once, without interruption and with at least one bounce on water in each pass, the team gets one point (one round). The opposing team shall try to interrupt passes and start passing within their team. First team to three rounds wins the match. You have to pass the ball within 5 seconds after receiving it. It is allowed to tackle opponents, but not the player that has the ball. You are not allowed to hold an opponent. To play tournaments you need the Match Game rules, you can download them from the web site.

Great Fun August 2, 2008
The Waboba Ball is so much fun to bring to the beach with you to play with your friends and families. This actually bounces on water as it says on the description and the games you can play with them are countless because you come up with more game ideas everytime you use it. The only problem with it is that if you use it very often, the thread starts to come loose and the material starts to split apart so you either throw it away or try repairing it yourself with a needle and thread. This obviously will change the ball's appearance but once its fixed, the ball works as good as new. One big mistake i made was to step on it. A silly mistake and the rubber ball inside cracked in half so the ball doesn't work too well anymore. However, the price was worth the few weeks i have had it and i guarantee you won't regret buying one. Besides, look how cheap it is!!!
More fun than a frisbee by far! August 23, 2007

I saw this ball online and bought it for my recent beach holiday without knowing much about it. I have to say that it was fantastic - you can play for hours as it's so addictive trying to perfect your throwing technique. The 'skimming' technique is the hardest to master, but is great as, when you throw it really hard in the sea, depending on the angle that it hits a wave or current it can fly off high in any direction. So you have keep alert so as not get caught off-guard! (This can prove a little lethal with children using the orange variety, as this is a bit heavier apparently than the original red one or the new lighter yellow pool one). My only minor gripe being that by Day 3 of my holiday some of the outer layers of 'rubber'(underneath the material cover) had started to perish...but to be fair it had recieved quite a bit of punishment by then! So I feel that a new Waboba ball for each holiday is not exactly a huge investment to worry about compared to the laughs you can have playing with it. I've recommended this to my friends already...go on, get one....
