New Blob for this Summer- Fat Boys Blob™
Thanks to the generous donation of Gary Sharpe, from the Sharpe Family Foundation in Soddy Daisy, TN, we will have a new blob for this summer! Our previous blob, which we had for close to 10 years, popped a hole this past summer that was not able to be fixed.
Our new blob will be a different type of blob, known as the Fat Boys Blob™. It is designed with a peanut shape measuring about 33 feet long and 10 feet wide and tall that maximizes launch height and creates a smoother, more predictable launch. The shape can be broken into two sections - one constricting the air wave and one releasing it. The design is meant to significantly reduce the chance of whiplash, as it is 3x deeper than any other inflatable pod on the market. The deeper the launcher sits on the pod, the longer they are connected to the blob during launch and the better and more predictable the launch becomes. The blob also has two double sides, which are designed to avoid the blob rolling from side-to-side, as is common on other types of blobs.
The Fat Boys Blob™ set the world record in 2012 for the highest water launch--- 75 feet in the air!
We are very grateful for the generous donation from Gary Sharpe for this important part of the fun of summer camp. Stay tuned for more details as we get our Fat Boys Blob™ setup and ready for summer.
