Water-Bouncing Performance in a Sun Bum Package
The Sun Bum Sonny Skipper Waboba Ball brings the original water-bouncing skip ball together with Sun Bum's signature Sonny mascot. At 90mm across, it is engineered for sport performance on the water: more accuracy, more athletic control, and the potential for one-handed catches that Waboba players call a "Bobe." Throw it low and fast across the surface of a lake or the ocean and watch it skip and skip again before your opponent can react.
Built for the Water, Designed for Fun
Waboba pioneered the water-bouncing ball category, and the Sonny Skipper carries that engineering forward. The construction is optimized to interact with a water surface rather than a hard court, so the skips are predictable and repeatable. That consistency is what makes the Sonny Skipper genuinely competitive. Families, friend groups, and anyone who takes casual beach games seriously will find real replay value here.
The textured outer skin gives each throw grip and directional control. A firm, structured core maintains shape session after session in saltwater, fresh water, and sun. The Sonny character graphic is printed across the panel in the classic Sun Bum yellow and brown palette, making it easy to spot in the water and on the sand.
How to Play
Waboba skip ball games work best with two or more players standing in shallow water or along a shoreline. Throw the ball sidearm, low and flat, so it skips along the surface toward your opponent. The goal is to throw with enough accuracy and speed that the other player cannot make a clean catch. One-handed catches (the Bobe) are the signature move and the benchmark of skill. Recommended for ages 10 and up.
The Sun Bum x Waboba Collaboration
Sun Bum started making sun care products to protect friends and family from the sun. The Waboba collaboration extends that beach-first mindset into active water play. The Sonny Skipper is part of a collectible series of character balls, each featuring a different Waboba personality. This one is the Sonny Skipper edition, sold individually.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is a Waboba skip ball?
- A Waboba skip ball is a purpose-engineered ball designed to bounce and skip across the surface of water when thrown low and flat. Unlike a standard ball, the construction and weight distribution allow it to skip multiple times before stopping, creating a fast-paced throwing and catching game for the beach, lake, or ocean.
- How do you play with the Sun Bum Waboba ball?
- Stand in shallow water or at a shoreline with at least one other player. Throw the ball sidearm at a low angle so it skips across the water surface toward your opponent. The goal is accuracy and speed so the other player cannot catch it cleanly. One-handed catches, called a Bobe, are the advanced move. The game is competitive, fast, and playable anywhere there is open water.
- Can the Waboba Sonny Skipper be used in saltwater?
- Yes. The ball is designed for both lake and ocean use, so saltwater and fresh water are both suitable environments.
