Waboba

Jan von Heland, inventor and founder of Waboba, credits his summer family holidays to the beach in Sweden during the ‘80s as the spark of inspiration that would one day result in the first Waboba Ball–the ball that bounces on water. After accidentally tossing a frisbee upside down and marveling at how it skimmed across the surface of the water, Jan began to dream of a toy that would bounce off the water’s surface the way a regular ball bounces off the ground.

Lots of research, development and testing followed in the early 2000s, until the masterpiece known as the Waboba Ball was finally born in 2005. This unique toy and the ever-expending assortment of Wabobas designed for water, land and air continue to bounce and fly around the world. Today, Waboba has grown to become a lifestyle that values having fun, being outside, going on adventures, embracing your inner child, refusing to grow up, staying active, letting loose and enjoying time with family and friends in the most simple form–all you need is a ball!
