Go Zorbing in New Zealand

“Getting into the Zorb balls is definitely kind of an awkward experience; you literally have to dive in head first, like you would into a swimming pool, except that you’re generally dry and end up getting stuck on the damp plastic, forced to wiggle your way through like a beached whale. I imagine the Zorb instructors probably get a good laugh out of it sometimes, though mine was nice enough not to laugh outright at my awkward struggles, at least not loudly enough that I could hear him. After a little finagling I finally got into the ball and the instructor handed me my GoPro, showing me how to use it briefly before closing up the ball and rolling it onto the track. And then I was lurched into motion, spinning and slipping and sliding around, all while trying to smile and look presentable for my video. It didn’t work, and I ended up just laughing and squeaking and being an all around messy nightmare as I tumbled down the hill, video be damned.”
