Winter can't last forever. Before we know it, we'll be hearing the sound willow on leather on the village cricket green.

And of course the saga of keeping the kids amused during the school holidays will be on us once again. Well this year, why not deploy your secret weapon on a hot summer's day?

A Skimboard Surfer Slide!

Skim boarding is a hydroplaning technique whereby you (or preferably someone smaller and younger) runs at speed towards a thin layer of water, drop the board onto the water and jump on. You will then skim along the surface of the water.

The 26 foot long Skimboard Surfer Ride allows you to do this in your own back garden and comes complete with surfing board.

All you have to do is connect it to a hosepipe, wait until the slide has a few inches of water in it and the fun can commence!

Available from Gadgetshop priced £39.99.
