As a public service, EADJ would like to share our spotlight with those who don't have quite the massive audience we do. All summer, we will be featuring the creator of a beach toy and ask them to explain it and the inspiration behind it.
This week: Hurley Turwell, the inventor of Spyderball.
HT: Spyderball, man. It's like volleyball meets handball meets "Top Gun", man! Instead of a volleyball net, you got this crazy beach trampoline, and you gotta bounce it off the trampoline to score over the other team. The ball is smaller than a kickball, so you can grip it and really whale on the other team, man!
EADJ: Why do you call it Spyderball?
HT: Because the trampoline is sort of like a web, and you gotta really keep your eye on the ball, so you gotta SPY it, get it?
EADJ: Are you on drugs right now?
HT: No way, man! I'm natural! You wanna play a few rounds of Spyderball?
EADJ: No, we're good.
