One of those cool design ideas I like so much: aach piece in this stainless steel cutlery set is whimsically fish-shaped, right down to tail, fins, mouth, and eyes. The playfulness of this pattern will reel you in hook, line, and sinker. Not surprisingly, Gone Fishin' claims a place in Yamazaki's Museum Collection... and there's everything: Teaspoon, Salad Fork, Soup Spoon, Dinner Fork, Dinner Knife, Appetizer fork, Teaspoon, Salad Serving Set..and so on
Here you can buy them and if you like this kind of thingd there's a nice collection of Creative and Unusual Cutlery Designs on Toxel.
This is indeed the cutest bath plug I've ever seen in my life! The little red fish stuck in the plughole is really nice and makes pulling out the plug easier. You can buy it for 7.95£ here
Have you ever thought that all the wetsuit looks the same? Well Diddo, a dutch artist and designer has definitely put the word end to this lack of originality... With custom inks and unique printing techniques, he has been able to map textures onto the suits to create original designs. Lookin his masterpiece, the "chewed-looking wetsuit", that simulate you've been attacked by an angry shark I must admit he has been really imaginative.... Try to imagine the panic spreading over a beach if a surfer with a wetsuit like this would rise slowly from the water walking toward the people...
There are other great designs, a rusted iron diving suit, the anatomic musculature suit and finally a whale shark patterned suit, my favourite one.
In the beginning it was the Jetpack, a device shaped as a beltpack that uses jets of escaping gases to allow a single user to fly. It emerged from science fiction in the 1920s and popularised in the 1960s as the technology became a reality and people could see it in 007 movies. Now, many decades after, the Jetpacks clearly do not have the success one could have foretold and it seems that the only practical uses currently has been extra-vehicular activity for astronauts. Despite decades of advancement in the technology, the challenges of Earth's atmosphere, Earth's gravity, and the human body (which is not suited to this type of flight) remain an obstacle to its potential use in the military and as a means of personal transport. But even more than the human body fragility the main obstacle was that is fuel: Jetpacks are necessarily a compromise between the amount of fuel they can carry and the amount of weight they can lift, and so far the best you’ve been able to expect is 10 or 20 minutes of flying time. So if somehow you could get the fuel off of the jetpack, you’d be good to go… And that’s what the JetLev does.
The creators of this amazing device had the idea that kill two birds with a stone, solving both problems (human fragility and fuel autonomy) simply replacing gases with water. The gimmick is that JetLev doesn’t carry the water with it; rather, it’s got a 140 foot long flexible tube attached to a little boat that you drag along behind you. The boat has a 4 stroke 115 hp engine in it that pumps water up into the jetpack at 100 psi, and when that water comes shooting down out of the two nozzles at the sides, it puts out enough force to lift a person up to 50 feet in the air at speeds of 50 mph! Amazing isn't it?
Obviously JetLev Flyer use is restricted to water (better if far from boats and shoreline) but this way, your fuel is infinite (except the gas in the motor boat pod thingy, that however gives a range of nearly 200 miles). Moreover if something goes wrong and you fall down you are simply taking a dive in the water from 50 feet... nothing really dangerous.
I know you're already dying for trying this thing... and it will get worse with the videos at the end of the post, however it's not exactly cheap costing something like $128,000. Let's hope that with a great success the price will drop.
This is indeed a funny concept... but, come on, the idea of drinking the dentures rinse water is not so enticing...! Not to mention what the kid and the dog are doing... However it's for sure a nice idea for a laugh with your friends. If you're interested this is a product by Donkey Products
If you have a good memory you may remember the post Would you like a gin and TITONIC? in which I presented a really cool and weird (and a little black humorous..) idea: Ice-trays shaped like Titanic and Icebergs! Today is the time of a perfect companion to enlarge your collection of odd ice-trays: The Shark Fin! the only ice cube that give you the illusion of having a shark in your Daiquiri... The bite marks on the tray, I have to say, are a nice touch.
If this is not too odd for you, this is the product page, you can have it for £5.99 (about $8.25)
It's been known on the web both as Waterbird and Acquaskipper (and many other names), it reaches 27 km/h, being the fastest human-propelled device on the surface of the water. It weighs just 12 kilos and it's pure fun. An english site is under construction, for the Italian one click here
You already know that Internet is the place where you can find almost everything from the most bizarre to the almost useless and even those cult cool-designed things impossible to find anywhere else. Gin and Titonic applies to all the previous definitions and it's also a little bit "black humorous"... Eight plastic boxes to create ice cubes, four shaped like icebergs and four like Titanic.... and voilà.. your Gin and Titonic is ready... it misses just Leonardo Di Caprio drowning in the Martini but, probably, without him it tastes better...
This is a special keyholder that seems made on porpose for people like me... My job brings me most of the time in the sea and I'm one of those guys that always lose everything they can lose (even if I have to admit that, year after year, I'm improving in this field..). Water-buoy is the first keyholder created for valuable objects that can fall into the sea. If this happens Water-buoy self-activates:
A balloon hidden inside Water-buoy start auto-inflating converting it in a floating buoy
According to the manufacturers this clever item can sustain up to 1 kilogram. Moreover it is equipped with a flashing light too, in this way you'll be able to find it even in the darkness.
This video explain it all:

Cool! This kayak-canoe hybrid has a transparent polymer hull that offers paddlers an underwater vista of aquatic wildlife and waterscapes unavailable in conventional boats. Seating two people, the sturdy canoe hull is made of the same durable material found in the cockpit canopies of supersonic fighter jets. I just don't want to imagine the feeling of spotting a shark right beneath you...
It's a little bit expensive ($1,599.95) but if you want to be the coolest of the beach you can buy it at Hammacher
If here at SeaWayBLOG we should choose a computer mouse we certainly would choose this... It's orange and it's related to water... I cannot ask for more.
If you are looking for something different you can find many others in this strange computer mice gallery.
This is bizarre! Are you wondering what's this strange object which in some way has an "elven" look? Well, it's the chance for you to have the sound of the ocean whenever and wherever you want. Everybody knows that putting a shell close to the ear you can hear a noise very similar to the sound of rolling waves. This object, I don't know how, is able to do the same and it doesn't need any kind of power supply, allowing you to have a moment of relax, hearing the sound of the sea, each time you want. The creator of this so called "Noisy Instrument" is Jun Murakoshi
