Gigantic water slides like these are usually only found at resorts and water parks but now the family can have one of their own for playing on. One of the biggest concerns today is the lack of exercise that children are getting. This lack of exercise has led to a rise in childhood obesity and all the health issues that go along with it. Having a gigantic water slide that they can play on is just the ticket to getting them outside and getting the exercise they need while having great fun.

The material used to make this water slide is the same stuff used for the inflatable boats used by the Navy Seals. This will assure you of many years of enjoyment for the kids and grand kids. This is especially important if you worry about puncturing the side. All the seams are heat sealed and it has been treated so there are no worries about the sun’s UV rays fading out the brilliant colors. (more…)

The Transparent Canoe Kayak – It Clearly isn’t Snorkeling

The Transparent Canoe Kayak from Hammacher Schlemmer not only reproduces the contemplative wonder of cruising in a glass-bottomed boat, it improves the experience by allowing passage into shallow areas denied watercraft of a deeper draft. Couple this with the more precise handling of a kayak, vital to access tight, hard-to-reach locations such as those found in rock-filled lagoons, reefs and sea caves, and one can see why this product is unique.

Obvious applications such as wildlife-watching, photography and fishing are just three that immediately spring to mind. Imagine being able to actually see the very fish you’re trying to catch! You don’t need a fish-finder with this boat.

The hull is constructed from Lexan® polycarbonate (a bullet-proof material with 250 times the impact resistance of glass and 30 times that of acrylic), the same material used in the F-22 Raptor fighter jet cockpit canopy and the Space Shuttle windows. Unlike most polycarbonates, Lexan® does not yellow from prolonged exposure to sunlight thanks to its protective coating, so the view of the habitat beneath the paddler will never become discolored.

It is designed with a broader than traditional beam which increases its water displacement. This concept, combined with the lower, kayak-style seating positions for two occupants (up to 425 pounds), makes for greater stability in the water. Seating is adjustable to customize leg room. The interior frame is made from corrosion-resistant anodized aluminum which lends the boat rigidity. The canoe weighs in at 40 pounds and comes equipped with two double-headed paddles, two floatation devices and a water bailer. (more…)
