Our bodies are comprised of about 60 percent water, so it’s no surprise we jump into lakes, bays, ponds, and the ocean at every opportunity. This collection of aquatic toys is designed to make getting wet a wonderful adventure.

The biggest complaint about exercise bikes is that the scenery never changes. That’s not a problem with this “bike” that lets you exercise while cruising along the beach or exploring the local lake, river, or bay. The wide hull provides excellent stability for confidence, even for first-time users.

Surfing is a great sport, unless you live in Kansas or someplace else far from the ocean. The solution is this surfboard, powered by an electric motor that takes you across the water at speeds up to 36 mph. Each charge provides up to 30 minutes of surfing excitement.
