Built for the Beach, Ready for the Water
The Waboba 6" Football brings the classic backyard game to the sand and surf. At six inches long, it is the right size for one-handed catches, easy throws, and tight spiral passes even when your hands are wet. The foam core keeps the ball afloat and absorbs impact so it never stings on a hard catch.
Foam Construction with a Waterproof Skin
A soft foam interior is wrapped in a form-fitting lycra/spandex cover that seals out water and maintains grip in wet conditions. The waterproof skin means the ball sheds water rather than soaking it up, so it stays light and responsive from the first toss to the last. Molded laces add tactile grip and help you find the right release point without thinking about it.
Where to Play
The compact 6" size and soft construction make this ball a natural fit for the beach, the pool deck, and any open stretch of grass. Because the foam core will not damage surfaces or hurt players on impact, it is equally at home in a tight backyard or a crowded beach. Recommended for ages 6 and up, it is genuinely usable by the full range of players at any gathering.
Artist Patterns by Chris Kemp
Waboba partnered with artist Chris Kemp to design the bold graphic patterns on select versions of this ball. The artwork captures that unmistakable summer energy and makes the ball easy to spot in the air and on the sand. Waboba has built its reputation since 2005 on products that get people outside and playing together, and the visual design on this ball is part of that ethos.
