Zorbing in Rotorua PDF Print E-mail

Today I am going Zorbing in Rotorua: this crazy sport was invented in New Zealand.

After observing other people Zorbing downhill from a safe position, I decide to have a go for the wet Zorb. The idea behing Zorbing is to go inside a transparent two layered plastic ball and to roll down a few hundred meters from a hill. The advantage of the wet Zorb is that you slide in the ball like on a water tobbogan rather than being attached inside. This last one sounds definetely good for the future airforce pilots which I am not going to be unfortunatly (I get sea sick easily).

I am given a special swimming short and T-Shirt and a guide takes me up to the top of the hill. It's my turn and I am going head first in the giant ball. There is a bit of water inside and the guide told me to start walking. I start walking and then start running but it's going to fast and I quickly roll all over the ball!

After putting my hands behind my neck I start to slide like mad and that's a lot of fun :-) haaaaaa!!!

Getting out of the Zorb ball is very easy and I feel great, full of adrenalyn energy!
