    That looks pretty sweet! Doesn’t look like it’s in bad shape either. I’d say wash it just in case, but that’ll probably give you some good times! Good find!

      I saw one a while back bouncing down the road outside. I watched in horror as cars sped dangerously past it. Anyway, I went out to look for it and managed to grab it from the side of the road before anything bust it. Some days later, I found another one that had been popped. However, despite having 2 holes in it, I managed to repair it. Had a great boink on them afterwards. There's something appealing about riding a rescued inflatable

      Here is the first one.

        Both the lucky finds look as though the distributor of these two balls knew how to inflate a beach ball properly. Not a wrinkle in sight.

          I love found or secondhand inflatables. A few years ago, early one morning, I discovered a red/blue/yellow Intex ball like this one trapped in the reeds on a lake. I took it home to enjoy it, gradually inflating it more and more to see if | could get it all the way to a full 24 inches in diameter. It almost made it!

              Wow, it looks like it is filled with lung air. The condensation is still there. Was it tight?

                At last before-covid summer, 2019, I was in Bulgaria and there in one day I found a 3 the same Intex "pocket-type" mats. They all were a bit popped, but easily repairable, only a one small hole on the seam between a top side and one of the "pockets", 10 minutes of work for each one.

                  My last roadfind was at last year. A late autumn, a great war around, my city is about 40 km from a front line, an air raid sirens, sometimes an explosions, and... a something big I saw near the road, when I went from a work. This was an Intex folding mattress, made in 2006, in a perfect condition! No any holes, it holds air without any repairs.

                      Of course, it's very comfortable and pleasant! I very want to test it on a river, but I not seen any water for more then 2 years. Due the russian rockets, bombs and mines all beaches and even wild places here are closed.
