We spent this weekend in Cape Cod w/ Frannie's family -- her family has been renting the same small cottage by the beach in Truro for 35 years or so, and we spend a lot of time out there in the summer. This year, our old friend Tati introduced perhaps the greatest beach innovation ever.  The [Waboba](http://waboba.com).  For those who have yet to experience it, a Waboba is a ball that bounces on water.  The ball is made of gel, and is wrapped in wetsuit-like material.It's amazing -- so fun in so many ways.  We played in a small tidepool, close together.  We played in the ocean, skipping the ball, long distance, up, over and across the waves.  It seems silly to write a blog post about a beach ball, but this is really something special. Just check out a [Youtube search for Waboba](https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=waboba&oq=waboba&gs_l=youtube-reduced.3..0l4.70732.71475.0.71627.6.5.0.1.1.0.128.444.4j1.5.0...0.0...1ac.jWnIiXeqjIw) to see how people are using it (and how many people are filming it).  We had the Waboba Extreme, which sets you back $8.99 .  If you're spending time in the water this summer, I highly recommend doing it w/ a Waboba.
