Good Times Rolling at Celista By Jo Anne Malpass There’s a fun new activity available on the North Shuswap, let the good times roll. Zorboratic is now open at Celista. Dale, Corinne and Zahyna Lewis of Celista Adventures Ltd. have built a zorbing track on a gentle grassy slope behind Sun Beach, on Evans Road. Zorbing is the sport of rolling downhill inside a giant transparent inflated plastic orb. Up to three riders at a time can get in the big plastic ball. The orbs have about 18 inches of air between the outer and inner balls. The inner ball where the riders sit is filled with about 15 gallons of water to give extra weight to the ball for speed and to reduce friction inside. Dale Lewis compares the experience to a waterslide, you slide around freely while the inflatable ball rolls downhill. The rider does not flip over, is always at the bottom of the ball.

Dale and Corinne’s daughter, Zahyna, went to New Zealand where the sport originated, and came back home excited about the prospect of having it in Celista. “We need to build one of these,” she said and Dale and Corinne agreed it would be a great addition to the North Shuswap. They went to New Zealand themselves over the winter to look at a couple of zorbing sites to learn more about how the courses are designed and to figure out how they were going to do it. “Growing up here and living here, we just wanted to make the place a little more fun” said Dale, “everybody in it is just laughing and giggling the whole way down.” Riders must be over 42” tall and riders under 10 years old need to be accompanied by an adult. A video of their test run can be seen at Zorboratic on Instagram. For more information, call 250 955-0705.
