It uses a firm gel core wrapped in a three-layer lycra fabric shell to skip across the surface of pools, lakes, rivers, and the ocean. Weighing just 0.09 kg, it fits in a pocket and works best in open water where it can travel long distances fast. Suitable for ages 8 and up, this Zigzag-patterned version is one of several color options from the Swedish brand.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eHow the Waboba Original ball is built to skip\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe secret is its construction. A firm silicone-polyurethane gel core gives the ball weight and bounce energy. Around that, a lycra outer layer keeps the ball grippy and easy to catch when wet. The three-layer design also makes the ball float, so you never have to dive for it. That same palm-sized shape means you can throw it like a baseball or skip it like a stone.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhere you can use the Original water ball\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis ball is built for any open water: the swimming pool, a lake, a river, or the beach. Because it bounces instead of sinking, one throw can send it skimming 50 feet or more across the surface. It’s easy to retrieve because it floats, and the outer fabric stays manageable even when soaked. Take it on holiday, to a picnic by the water, or just to the local pool for a game of catch that doesn’t end with a lost ball.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWaboba\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLycra, Silicone\/Polyurethane\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eColor\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eZigzag\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAge Range\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e8+\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eItem Weight\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0.09 kg\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\u003ch2\u003eDoes the Waboba Original ball float or sink?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe ball floats.
