If you really want to try something unconventional, Waterwalkers would make up for a perfect choice. The concept is much similar to the Zorb Sport, but the fact it has to be done on water surface makes it extremely challenging. Once you’ve stepped inside the ball, it rotates continuously, thereby putting every muscle in your body to work. The makers claim that spending even 5 minutes inside this inflated plastic ball would be parallel to a good workout session.

Before the air inside the ball runs out, one can walk for as much as 30 minutes. Thermoplastic polyurethanes are used which make the balls extremely sturdy. The makers provide with repair patches to deal with instances of punctures. Even though specifications suggest a weight limit of 90 kgs or 200lbs, the ball has been used by people with 250lbs weight with no issues at all.

Unlike Zorb balls, Waterwalkerz are meant for indoor use. You just need a 25 metre pool that can accommodate 5 or more such balls and a few friends to indulge in the goodness of this innovative sport. Do check out the video after the jump that gives you a feel of what would Zorbing mean, not on slopes this time, but on water.

Waterwalkers are available for $710 each including delivery to US and for the Brit buyers, the price is UKP£450. This price doesn’t include the blowers, they are to be bought separately for $199/ UKP£99. Although not bizarre, the company has wittily drawn inspiration from Zorb balls and hatched something interesting.
