Our Take
The Wham-O Slip N Slide Wave Rider is a 16-foot plastic water slide designed for garden use in warm weather. Aimed primarily at children aged 5 and up, it connects to a standard garden hose and creates a wet, slippery runway for sliding. It sits at the budget-friendly, mass-market end of the outdoor water toy category.
Key Features
16-foot (approximately 4.9 metre) sliding lane length
Single central water-feed tube runs along the length of the sheet, fed by a garden hose connector
Made from thin PVC sheeting with a textured wave-pattern surface intended to aid gliding
Includes an inflatable splash pool/catch pad at the bottom end
Designed for children roughly aged 5 to 12; not rated for adult use
Single-lane design — one child slides at a time
Our Verdict
A solid, affordable pick for families with younger children who have a flat, grassy garden and want straightforward summer water fun. Don't expect it to last more than a season or two of heavy use. Older children or anyone wanting something more durable should budget up for a heavier-duty alternative.
