For the fun dad who wants to retain his youth, get him a Portopong, the #1 best selling floating beer pong table in the world. The creators of Portopong invented the modern day floating beer pong table not just for college students to play on spring break, but for pong lovers of all ages to play in the pool at their backyard BBQs, or while camping at the lake. (Note: you can substitute soda, juice or any other favorite beverage in place of the beer.) To keep your beverages cool, place ice cubes in the cup holders, then put filled cups on top of the cubes. The Portopong also works great for tailgating, where you can put it on the hood of your car or truck bed. Let the games begin.
