Walk on Water with Waterwalkerz

Share

Surely at one point in your life you've wanted to walk on water. Who hasn't. While you may not possess any messiah-like ability to throw off your flip flops and walk out to sea, there's no reason you can't experience walking on water with a little helping hand from Waterwalkerz.

Looking like a cross between a hamster ball and a zorb, Waterwalkerz are large, Thermoplastic polyurethane balls that engulf your body and allow you to stand, walk and run on water. The two-meter balls can be used in bodies of water as small as an eight-foot-long pool. While they may look about as rugged as a plastic shopping bag from your local grocer, they are designed to be durable enough to work on a rough, pebble-encrusted beach.

That's the good news about fulfilling your dream of walking on water. The bad news is that the Waterwalkerz will set you back a startling $710. And you'll only get 30 minutes of run time before hanging out in a big, plastic ball becomes as dangerous as you learned it would be when you were a kid and cuts off your oxygen.
