Review of the Waboba balls, prior to use in the ocean, water but at least a good explanation of themLava Ball, Fun size, bounces REALLY well, good ball to play with on cement, surfaces, kindof hard, like a hard foam, some cushion, 2.54 oz, for reference a baseball is 5.3 oz.Street ball, really good on surfaces, I think it is meant to take somewhat erratic bounces, but bounces fairly true. 1.86 oz. About the same sponge level as the Lava Ball. This seems like it will wear well on cement.Sol, This seems like the safest most kid friendly, as it is 2.2 oz, almost as big as the softball, seems like a very light weight foam so it won't hurt if hit by it. It won't go near as far as the surf or extreme. Those are almost projectiles. The Sol might be a little big for under 6 to through well but then kids should do fine with it.Surf, this is very similar to Extreme but a softer gel like filling, almost like a soft stress ball. Really well constructed. 2.83 oz, it is a little larger than the Extreme, not much.Extreme, oddly enough this is 2.9 oz, it feels a lot heavier than the Surf. It is a little smaller but much more dense. I think this one should be played with carefully on the water as it seems like it could pack a punch. Read more

First, I know this is a great product because I had a Waboba SOL before (purchased elsewhere) that was dearly loved but ruined in an unfortunate incident.However, the one I just purchased here arrived with an extremely strong fragrance, as if it had been doused in perfume. I could smell it through the packaging before I even took it off my porch. I tried to air it out for a couple days, but to no avail. I literally had to remove it from my house because the smell was so overwhelming. My hands reeked of it after touching the ball, and the smell was still there after washing my hands multiple times.Although I trust it's a good product (based on prior experience), I absolutely cannot keep/use this item. A secondary complaint is the lack of color choice. I received a pink/purple ball (since I couldn't choose), which would not have been well-received by the male recipients it was intended for. The UV color-change effect didn't seem to work either.I will probably try to purchase this item again, but elsewhere. Read more

Lots of fun. We play with it quite a bit. My 11 year old son likes it and it was a MOM pick for his birthday. I would say that is a win Read more

Floats, skips like a rock, lot of fun to use Read more

We buy these for our dogs. We have a Yorkie and a Shih Tzu. They can’t tear them apart and they are easy for them to grab onto. They bring them to us every morning so we can throw them for them. I like the larger ones because they don’t get lost under the furniture. We use them in the lake as well. They skip in the water and entertain the kids and the husbands for hours. Read more

Great toy for swimming pool fun with the grandkids. Durable and perfect size keep an eye out for aggressive grandsons with good throwing arms Read more

The ball is a good mix between the “blubber” feel and the “sponge” feel. It’s slightly bigger than the standard Waboba ball but skips on the water very well. And was very easy to catch. Good beach ball Read more

This doesn't "bounce" off of water as advertised..it skips, and it's surprising hard to do! My niece and nephew just ended up playing regular catch with it. The UV color changing is cool, though! Read more

Good for beach/swimming pool Read more
