Zorbing, the unusual recreation of hurtling down a hill in a giant see-through ball (called an orb), was first invented by David Akers and Andrew Akers in New Zealand. It expanded rapidly across the globe and has since become a favourite amongst thrill seekers. Now a new form of zorbing has been launched, namely aqua zorbing.

What’s aqua zorbing? It’s zorbing with a twist. Rather than just hurtle down a hill at 30 miles an hour, you now do this whilst water swirls around in your orb. It sounds almost ridiculous but provides a great twist on the usual zorbing experience, and makes for a fun gift for a friend.
