Beach ball

While they are much less expensive than the balls used in professional sports, they are also much less durable, as most of them are made of soft plastic.

Giant beach balls may be tossed between crowd members at concerts, festivals, and sporting events.

They are bounced around crowds at cricket, baseball and football games, but are frequently confiscated and popped by security.

[8] Their light weight and stability make beach balls ideal for trained seals to balance on their noses, which has become an iconic scene[9][10].

Beach balls are also a popular prop used in swimsuit photography and to promote or represent beach-themed events or locations.

Some more basic uses of beach balls include a game's tool, a toy, or just a decoration in certain events.

Excessive sitting and bouncing can slowly damage the beach ball, which may cause it to eventually leak or even pop.
