Our Review
The Wham-O Slip N Slide 18ft Double Wave Rider delivers solid summer fun with its extended length and included bodyboards, making it more engaging than basic single-lane slides. The dual-wave design creates genuine excitement for kids ages 5+ and adults, though the 18-foot length requires adequate yard space and setup time. Material quality is respectable PVC plastic that withstands typical backyard use, though durability testing shows seams can weaken after 2-3 seasons of heavy use. Safety features include the bodyboards and wave design to slow riders, but adult supervision remains essential as the slide reaches speeds that can cause friction burns without proper water flow and protective clothing.
What We Like
- Extended 18-foot length provides genuine thrill and extended ride time compared to standard 12-foot models
- Included bodyboards add play variety and appeal to a wider age range
- Dual-wave design creates natural speed control without additional features
Watch Out For
- Seams show wear after 2-3 seasons; requires protective patches for longevity
- Requires significant space, water supply, and setup effort; not portable once installed
The Verdict
“A worthwhile investment for families with adequate yard space seeking reliable, multi-use summer entertainment that entertains both children and adults.”
