The world record

Thank you!

The current official Guinness World Record "greatest height achieved by being launched from an airbag" is 22 meters (72 feet 2.14 in) and was set on 7 June 2012 by Christian "Elvis" Guth, Christian von Cranach and Patrik Baumann, a German blob team in Hamburg/Norderstedt

The Blobbing Battle

From 2011 the organizer blob-Europe.com arranged the first championships in Blobbing, called Blobbing Battle.

How many players can play?

In this sport, can play more than 2 players because one player or more has to stay in one extrem of the blobber when the other jump in the other extrem.

Blobbing, ¿What is it?

Its history

Blobbing is an outdoor water activity in which a participant sits on the end of a partially inflated air bag (known as a water trampoline or blob) and is launched into the water when another participant jumps onto the air bag from a platform on the opposite side.

The original blobs used were military surplus items. The "blob" was nothing other than a floating fuel tank that ships could tow. Since oil and gas floats on top of water, the fuel-filled bladders floated next to the ships. The first blobbers were the sailors who would jump from the ship, onto the "blob." Although the first recorded use of the blob was a summer camp near Austin, Texas called Camp Longhorn, in which the founders' sons used the blob in the camp's canoe bay.
