Remember that instant beach ball I posted the other day? Well, this 10-foot version is waaaaaaay on the other end of the spectrum. When deflated, it’s not going to fit in any portable can—unless you consider rolling an oil drum down the street “portable.” It’s also the kind of thing you are going to need an air compressor for. Hell, fill it up with helium and you might be able to get airborne.
As the product page illustrates, the Instant Beach Ball is the cure for everything. It’s that awesome.
Meeting dragging on a bit too long? Instant Beach Ball! Awkward first date? Instant Beach Ball! Waiting in line at the grocery store? Instant Beach Ball! This colorful 12″ round, vinyl beach ball will turn any boring or uncomfortable situation into a rollicking funfest!
Cancer? Instant Beach Ball? Incarceration? Instant Beach Ball! Too few cats? Inst…er…actually this would be better for that problem.

Flip flops are not the most comfortable or fashionable footwear you can find, but they do look right at home at the beach. Some enterprising inventor chose to add some stakes to the bottom of these flip flops which allows you to use them to keep your beach towel in place. Keeping sand off your towel is more important than keeping your feet from touching the scorching hot sand. Plus, if some muscular dude tries to hit on your girl, you can bust up the whole cliche by strapping on a sandal and driving that stake through his six pack abs with a crane kick.

Here are the top ten Nerd Approved Gadgets for the week of January 11th-17th, 2010:
Giant Inflatable D20: The D&D nerd’s beach ball.
Magnetic, Floating LED Display: Puts your beer on a pedestal.
Creepsicles / Evil Icecream / Ice Clown: This ice cream is made with pure sugar…and evil.
Resin Bathing Couple Cellphone/Gadget Holder: A bathtub threesome between two matches and your cellphone.
1.0″ LCD Guitar Shaped Car MP3 Player FM Transmitter: Let a guitar bring music to your car.
Break out this giant inflatable D20 and get ready for full contact, live action D&D that allows you to actually feel your character’s pain as you rewrite the rules for hit points. A D20 in the face is one hit point, while a D20 in the crotch is seven hit points with the added humiliation and laughter penalty.
There needs to be a way to have a tropical drink without having to put a feminine umbrella into it. The Tropical Ice is your answer. Its realistic looking trunk and ice-shaped leaves will chill your drink and put images of warm beaches and scantily clad women into your head.

You should be so lucky as this Strongman corkscrew, opening a bottle of wine with every squat thrust you do. Your legs will be in great shape, although your liver will be a wreck. But when you are out at the beach all anyone will be able to see are those toned legs.

A cross between a snow globe and a picture frame, the Really Snowing Picture Frame will start swirling the snow around whenever it it senses a presence. Works equally well on pictures at the beach in summer as it does for pictures in the mountains in winter.

Even though a public swimming pool can’t compete with the beach, you can still take a boogie board in the water and experience a shark attack (of sorts) thanks to this Great White pool predator. This 29″ inflatable shark packs a bladder in its gills which turns it into a giant squirt gun when filled, soaking targets with a spray of chlorine and child piss. And if that still doesn’t give you a beach feeling, then you can always count on slaps in the face when you ogle women, and those wonderful feelings of inadequacy when you show your body in a swimsuit. That alone makes me feel like I’m there.
