ABSTRACT:
A water toy includes a bumper ball having open ends and inner and outer walls separatable by an air space. Users enter and exit the ball through either or both of the open ends. The ball can be rotated by the occupant moving in one direction in it, as by walking. An open-ended cover, into which the ball is inserted deflated, contains fins on its exterior for interacting with water as the cover rotates when the ball is rotated. The cover also mounts a tow harness for connection to a boat tow rope, and the fins act to restrain spinning as the toy is towed through water.
