Hot Pod, the Floating Spa for Your Pool

January 23, 2007 | Posted by bLavish as Outdoor Fun at 12:00 pm | (1) Comment »

So, you committed the yard to a pool & not a spa?  Well, it looks like you made the right decision, since you can now float a spa in your pool; which would be a lot harder than floating a pool in your spa. 

The Hot Pod is a great way to relax in the pool & features a heater & pump that takes the hot water from your pool in through its six hydro-engineered jets so you feel warm & at ease while the rest of the gang do canonnballs & flips.  Cost, $800.

JetBike, the Water Motorcycle

November 29, 2006 | Posted by bLavish as Outdoor Fun at 12:12 pm | (3) Comments »

 

 

If a regular jetski just doesn’t seem fun anymore, hop on over to the JetBike.  The JetBike is basically a motorcycle bulit of the water.  This beast of a machine uses the same type of propulsion system as its predecessor, but the JetBike is far more aerodynamic and provides a smoother ride of the water.

The smooth operator JetBike was built especially by the Aquajet Corporation, who think rather highly of themselves.  Cost for one JetBike, $14,995, with a $1,500 (10%) down payment at the time you order.  So, maybe just get one, for now!

Swing Shot Tennis Robot for Those Without Partners

November 7, 2006 | Posted by bLavish as Outdoor Fun at 1:30 pm | Comments off

Having trouble always finding a tennis partner?  Well, now you don’t have to, well, kinda.

With the Swing Shot Tennis Robot, you can almost feel like you have your very own partner, almost.  The Swing Shot has the ability to serve balls between a variety of speeds as well as a variety of pitches, such as spin, lob & smash.  Sadly, this little guy does not have the ability to love.  But you can love the very first tennis robot that actually hits balls with a racket, and isn’t that enough to make a racket over?

Never ever go through the trauma of losing your keys in the lake with the new Key Buoy.

This is the ultimate key fob for water lovers.  When your keys fall into the water, a self-inflating key ring opens up whish releases an air tube that inflates automatically.  Within just 30 seconds your can’t-live-without keys will come to meet you on the surface thanks to your very own Key Buoy.

The only bad thing, suitable for single use only so keep a spare with you on that next diving trip.

Cost, $7, very reasonable.

Outdoor Inflatable Bossaball

October 4, 2006 | Posted by bLavish as Outdoor Fun at 12:15 pm | (2) Comments »

Well, we’ve all seen the variety of outdoor inflatables, so this Bossaball inflatable will not seem the least strange, maybe.

Bossaball is a combination of volleyball, football & gymnastics- if you can imagine such a thing.  All you need is some time to set it up (about an hour) and a huge area of space (the beach).  Be sure to check out the YouTube video before making any judgments. 

I have to admit, if I saw this in Cozumel, I would indeed have to participate, if only by yelling drunk from the overlooking balcony.

When you combine the words bathtub & hammock, I am one very happy person.  Two of my very favorite pastimes are melding into one explosively awesome experience.

This concept design, sorry, Bathtub Hammock is made from polyurethane & steel which provides you reliability and comfort.  The watery hammock is held by a tension ring suspended between two stainless steel beams. 

Incredible.  Sign me up for two in pink.

DutchTub- The Tub for Anywhere

August 29, 2006 | Posted by bLavish as Furniture, Outdoor Fun at 1:00 pm | (1) Comment »

You know, who needs a Jacuzzi or even a bath tub when you can have your very own portable tub that even fits in your SUV.

And the DutchTub is just that.  This sucker doesn’t even need electricity, just heat up the water by burning wood in the provided bucket & you’re in business.  The DutchTub is basically your personal outdoor bath tub.  Who’s ever heard of a good party that didn’t involve a bath tub, I ask you.

RKS Design Bumpbrella Umbrella

August 10, 2006 | Posted by bLavish as Gadgets, Outdoor Fun at 10:14 am | (1) Comment »

Well, you know how I feel about concept designs- they’re great, but come to me when they actually exist & can be purchased.

But I try to keep you on the cutting edge of it all & that’s why we’re starting off Thursday with the RKS-designed Bumpbrella umbrella.  Never worry about bumping into another street walker or passerby. 

The Bumpbrella is inflatable, see-through & rearing to be your fair-weather friend.  Of course, this is still just a design on the concept level as of right now.  So, until then try to stay bump-free.
