Blobbing
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Blobbing is an outdoor water sport in which a participant sits on the end of a partially-inflated air bag (known as a water trampoline or blob) and is then launched into the water after another participant jumps onto the air bag from a platform on the opposite side. The sport is popular at summer camps in North America. Various tricks, similar to those in diving, may be performed while the participant is in the air. The air bag is approximately 10 meters long (33 feet) by 2 meters wide (6 feet). The recommended height for the tower is 15 feet above the water surface, or 10 feet above the air bag.
