As described in the Web news journal Diariodeibiza, the company, Vehiculos con Ingenio, or Transportation with Imagination, began selling its new contraption a month ago that allows people using it to literally walk on water.
In essence a large plastic sphere pumped full of air into which a person climbs through a special hatch, the device allows users to "run on the waves, if they can balance themselves," as the company's Web site proclaims.
Diariodeibiza said the company specializes in innovative forms of transportation that are "practical, inexpensive and ecologically sound."
Dozens of the spheres have already been sold to lovers of extreme sports, and orders are coming in fast, the journal said.
Although in business a little more than a year, the company has already marketed 34 different types of alternative transportation, including a folding bicycle, a self-propelled watercraft, radio-controlled airplanes and cars, an electric moped, and even "flying" boots.
