Does the ball work on land?

How should I care for the ball?
Rinse with fresh water after use, allow it to air dry completely, and store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
Troubleshooting
Ball does not bounce on water.
Ensure the ball is thrown with a sidearm, skipping motion, not a straight throw. The water surface should be relatively calm for optimal skipping.
Ball sinks quickly.
This can happen if the ball is thrown too hard or straight down. Adjust your throwing technique to a lower, skipping angle. Ensure the ball is not damaged.
Color fades over time.
Prolonged exposure to strong sunlight can cause colors to fade. Store the ball dry and out of direct sunlight when not in use.
