Zorbs For Sale

Posted by Action Isle – July 27, 2009


If you have ever wondered, "where can I buy a Zorb?', keep reading (don't know what a Zorb is? Read about Zorbs here).

After doing some research I have found that you really can't buy an official Zorb. Why? Because the REAL Zorbs are only sold to official Zorb locations. So unless you are planning on starting a Zorbing location, you can't buy an official Zorb ball. An official Zorb ball is thousands of dollars, so most people wouldn't be able to afford a real one anyway.

However, you can buy imitation and Zorb knock off balls off of various web sites. But before you go and fork over your money for a fake Zorb, let me tell you why you are better off not buying one.

These companies that are imitating and selling look-alike Zorb balls are not the real deal. They are expensive, and who knows how good the quality is? These companies are knowingly violating the Zorb trademark by calling their imitation product a Zorb.

When you ride in a Zorb, you usually are strapped in and you go head over heels over and over until the ride is done. Would you really want to be going head over heels in a cheaply made inflatable ball over the hard ground?

When you buy one of these fake Zorbs, and ride in it (or let others ride in it), you are placing your life (or someone else's life) in the hands of a company that doesn't mind deceiving consumers so they can make money.

So, if you see a "Zorb" for sale, stay away from it, it is a counterfeit- and when have you ever heard of a counterfeit product that is of higher quality than the real deal?

Zorb: Roll down a hill in a giant ball

Posted by Action Isle – April 13, 2008


Forget rolling down a hill in a giant rubber wheel, or a trashcan, that's a thing of the past. Now you can roll down a hill in style, by getting in a giant sized air cushioned ball called the Zorb.

As it reads from the official Zorb web site http://www.zorb.com/,

"Zorb is the sport of rolling down a hill inside a giant inflatable ball and where New Zealand, once again leads the world in stupid things to do while you're on a vacation."

I'm not surprised that the Zorb was created in New Zealand. New Zealand is the home of many outdoor and action sport enthusiasts and attracts many more in tourism each year. As for this being "stupid"? I think it's more stupid to bomb down a hill in a trash can, the Zorb is a body saver. Imagine all that cushion.

Would I Zorb down a hill? Without a doubt yes!
