(PRLEAP.COM) ELKHART, IN – H2OPod, Inc. today announced Water Mat™, its breakthrough watersports toy, is now shipping and available. Water Mat, a lightweight, closed-cell foam pad with a new patent pending design, weighs only 50 pounds yet stably supports up to 1,500 pounds on the surface of any body of water.

“Water Mat is going to change the way anyone plays on the water,” said Chuck Detmar, the Water Mat’s inventor. “With its ease of use and innovative design, it transforms the surface of the water into a floor. You can walk, dance, jump, slide, or do anything you want on the Water Mat – the possibilities are limited only by the user’s imagination.”

“With summer approaching, the Water Mat is the best way to relax or play on water.”
Unlike many watersports toys, Water Mat is immune to puncturing or popping. Water Mat effortlessly unrolls from a compact package to a massive 20’ by 6’ mat, enough to easily accommodate up to ten adults. One side of the Water Mat is carpeted for traction; the other side is slippery for water-based fun.

“A recent article in the New York Times wrote that over 100 patents have been granted for water-walking inventions in the last 150 years … but none of them worked,” Detmar said. “The Watermat not only works … it’s fun!”

Pricing & Availability
Water Mat is available now for a suggested price of $599 (US) through the Watermat Store (www.watermat.org) or selected partners. A bright buoy and storage straps are all included.
