Own An Epic Wibit Water Obstacle Course in Your Own Backyard

By Bryan Holt Published July 24, 2017

Waterslides, trampolines, obstacles – you name it and Wibit’s water obstacle course probably has it and more.

German watersports company, Wibit has been transforming beach side backyards and commercial pools into wild and wacky inflatable obstacle courses for over two decades.

Creators and friends Robert Cirjak and Romann Rademacher experienced their first feature for their water trampoline in an American watersports magazine in 1996, only to have their one and only trampoline idea stolen at the BOOT show in Dusseldorf.

Despite this, Robert and Romann stuck it out until their creation of a commercial grade floating aqua park design hit the market in 2000. Fourteen years later, Wibit sports is now the world leader in floating water parks and can configure an inflatable adventure right in your own backyard. If your backyard is a beach, that is.

Regardless of property size or budget, the Wibit water obstacle course comes in modular designs which vary in size and capacity. Though they’re a little too big for your average-sized pool, Wibit’s products can be found at commercial pools, resorts, camps, and open water locations all around the world.

Or you just need is to own a lake, or some sort of lakeside property. Of course, it is also inflatable, so if you can make arrangements to take in on a community lake, I bet you’d be the coolest guy in town.

The WiBit aqua parks feature a heap of different obstacles and activities to transform your summer for the better. And because their designs are always evolving, they can create a customized solution for you.

Boasting commercial grade construction, tough German safety standards, and devoted passion for sports, WiBit’s will give you trouble-free yet challenging entertainment for your guests. Each Wibit product also comes equipped with the necessary setup parts, as well as an accessory kit, depending on your combination.

Check out the experience below to see if you’re ready to have what could be the best summer of your life.

2025 Jeep Wagoneer Overland is a rare, limited-edition, off-road-ready beast

With beefy tires, a next-gen 4x4 system, and trail-ready tech, it's Jeep's most off-road-capable Wagoneer ever

In my experience, I rarely see the latest generation of Jeep Wagoneers out on the trail. They're far more likely to be found in the parking lot of a yoga studio or smoothie cafe. But, that doesn't make them any less capable of conquering the backcountry. To further cement its off-road-ready chops, Jeep just released the limited-edition 2025 Jeep Wagoneer Overland Special Edition.

The exclusive new trim takes its already trail-ready SUV to the next level, with a long list of exclusive upgrades that make it the most capable Wagoneer in the lineup. A Quadra-Drive II 4x4 system with an electronic limited-slip differential and a two-speed transfer case automatically sends up to 100% of engine power to either the front or rear axle, depending on the required traction. That transfer case also boasts a 4-Low mode with a 48:1 crawl ratio and a user-selectable Rock Mode as part of Jeep's Selec-Terrain traction system (with Auto, Sport, Snow, and Sand/Mud settings, too). Plus, a Quadra-Lift air suspension with semi-active damping gives this Wagoneer up to 10 inches of total ground clearance. It all rides on beefy 32-inch all-terrain tires and handsome, 20-inch aluminum rims.

This national park has new rules after too many close calls with wolves

Here's how to keep your food safe from wolves this summer

Passage Island Lighthouse, Isle Royale National Park

With the increasing number of wolf encounters in the area, the National Park Service at Isle Royale National Park has implemented new food storage regulations, effective immediately. These new regulations aim to keep both wildlife and visitors safe while exploring the beautiful Great Lakes of Michigan. While these regulations are mandatory, I would recommend taking a note from them, no matter what national park you're headed to next.

The Isle Royale area is well-known for its wolf population, and at the park, there have been increased interactions between wolves and humans due to improperly stored food and trash, especially in areas like Rock Harbor and the eastern campgrounds. These items include all food, trash, cooking supplies, utensils, and toiletries.

Bean Pod “squaredrop” trailer is built for serious adventure gear-hauling

By turning traditional teardrop design on its head, this adventure trailer becomes a serious gear hauler.

Most teardrop travel trailers are designed as "hardsided tents" with most of the usable interior space dedicated to a relatively comfortable live/sleep cabin. But that doesn't always allow for adequate storage, especially if you fancy traveling with all your favorite outdoor adventure gear. That's where Bean Trailer's new Bean Pod squaredrop towable comes in.

For its latest adventure travel trailer, Bean wanted to maximize gear-hauling capability. To do that, it swapped the traditional layout typically found in most teardrops, including in its own Bean Stock 2.0. Rather than sleeping inside with all your gear mounted to the roof, the Bean Pod can be outfitted with a rooftop tent, while the interior is left open for all your storage needs. A wide shelf, a dedicated air compressor tray, and tie-down points throughout the cabin allow for lashing and securing your gear however you see fit.
