Water Dash®

Have you ever dreamed of walking on water?

Water Dash® is a new kind of water sport: you step inside a transparent sphere and walk on the surface of the water. You stay dry inside, so you can try it in your everyday clothes — no swimming skills needed.

What is Water Dash®?

Water Dash® was originally introduced in Japan under the name "Water Ball®". The balls were developed in Italy by Charles Jones. Our association has a formal agreement with the developer and is the Japan chapter of the World Water Ball Association. In Japan, only organizations certified by our association use the developer's original products.

Events are run by association instructors at event venues, rivers and public pools across Japan, using official products bearing the World Water Ball Association's authorized logo.
