Just throwing this other fun floating party idea here – The Island Hopper Water Walk is a great way to spend on the water but not necessarily, in the water. It works great for just laying or sitting on, or walking and running to jump in the water and is easy to climb back on.
As you can see in the above photo, the Water Walk is one of the BIGGEST floating mats in the market at 20 feet of length and 6 feet of width. The 1 1/4″ thickness makes the mat commercially rated as it is SUPER BUOYANT and made with TRIPLE LAYERED XPE FOAM WITH A RIP STOP MESH INNER CORE. It is sturdy enough to not rip or tear from even normal commercial use, much less from weekend fun on the water. The Island Hopper Water Walk can boast an EXCLUSIVE “TOUGH LAYER” outer membrane to protect the surface from peeling or gouging. It is not like other inexpensive PE floating mats out there. It is built for extreme buoyancy and hard use. You will love boating with it or throwing it out beside your dock as it is so easy to unroll into the water, just about anywhere!
The Water Walk features seven (7) grommets that can be used to anchor the party float in place, or ato secure to your boat, dock or other inflatables. Tie it off to a simple anchor to keep it in place as a floating platform or attach it to any Island Hopper water bouncer or water trampoline. Includes 3 – 12’ long Velcro tie off straps for easy transport and simple stowage.
