Quik Pod

Quik Pod from I Want One of Those

It’s so simple isn’t it, you see it and think, now why didn’t I think of that? Often the simplest ideas are the best, and the Quik Pod (despite the rather annoying missing “c” in Quik) is no exception.

S3 Surfster

S3 Surfster from I Want One of Those

Boogie boarding is a blast, but there are a few minor drawbacks. You need fairly decent waves, you have to carry the thing around with you (a pain or impossibility on planes and trains), and they’re not very comfortable to use.

8ft Instant Garden Pool

8ft Instant Garden Pool from I Want One of Those

The instant inflatable pool that doesn’t need hours of inflating! The trouble with many inflatable pools is that you need fancy pumps and ages of pumping, but this clever summer plunger uses the water you fill it with to hold itself up, which is rather clever.

If you have often lusted after a hot tub (or the possible contents of one), but the prospect of a permanent pool and nasty dent in your savings has put you off, then think again.

Seascooter GTi

Seascooter GTi from I Want One of Those

Surf the waves, plunge to the dazzling depths, make like a fish, or simply get it to do the work for you in the pool – however you play with this wonder, the GTi Sea Scooter is definitely where it’s at this summer.

This mean machine is beautifully well made, and for its speed and performance is a fraction of the cost of the nearest competition. The GTi boasts a speed of up to a mighty 2.5mph/4kmh, has a 2 hour run time – which is considerably longer than you can hold your breath for – and will work down to a staggering 100ft/30m depth. You, of course, won’t work very well at that depth; it’s amazing what a bit of sustained atmospheric pressure can do to your cognitive powers – just remember to hold on to the handle bars and point it upwards*.

It has adjustable buoyancy, and is light enough at 8.4kg to carry in one hand, making beach diving a reality and snorkelling a dream. With reassuring safety features including protective grilles, auto shut-off and dual trigger control, the GTi is a great Sea Scooter for both amateurs and professionals. If you’re planning on getting wet in the near future, either here or abroad, then getting behind a Sea Scooter is priority number 1.

But remember, this is not a life saving device, just a life enhancing one.

US Customers please note you will need to buy an electrical adaptor and transformer for this product (UK mains power is 240V and US mains power is 120V, and thus you need a transformer to adapt from one to the other). We don’t sell these items, but fortunately these can be bought very easily (and we’re told, very cheaply) from your local electrical store.

European Customers will require an electrical adaptor only, which can be purchased at your local store. (For local people, of course.)
