Sick video once again brother!!!
People are selling “aqua punching bags” that are really just boat buoys, it is the same thing, literally, just marketed differently.
The A-0 is perfect headhunter bag, 8.5” x 11” and can used for head movement like a maize bag. But heavy enough to take some power shots. I live in an apartment complex and live on the second floor and I screwed a long eye screw into the ceiling beam inside my roof. It hangs there all day and I use it to move around and loosen up.
The bigger buoys A-3 & A-4 are great punching bags and under $80 brand new on Amazon. But they are extremely heavy once they are filled with water.

I got scamned and was sold one of these as an Aqua bad 😢
Pretty good bag
Keep up the great work
Thank you I will 🤙
Depending where you are in the world, I got mine from Walmart for $50 US. I just checked and you can get them on sale as cheap as $35. They sell out quick though. Great video. Thanks
Thanks for sharing!
Great genius,thanks ,it's good
Can you please make a video on an indoor heavy bag frame/rack?
Just got my spring in and excited to try it out
I have a taylor 15".. it had a sort of check valve that you could pull out behind the screw in. Haven't filled it up yet.
Great vid. Thanks.
I miss this bag only true heavy punchers know this the best bag u can use 😂 if u really bout that heavy handed life
Definitely easier on the joints. My bag ripped at the top so I used metal wire to stitch together, filled it with sand and then wrapped it in duct tape. So far it works good but I do miss the water bag.
I have one, A-3 A-2 and the Head-hunter version. I love it , I have it( A-3 )hanging in from a heavy bag stand. I live in an apartment, I filled it in the apartment. Not much of a mess. The right nozzle is the key. I have a few videos of me working out on it.. may help you decide.
Thanks for sharing!
@@Kewlus Yw.. Thanks for all the great videos.
what nozzle did you use for the A3 bouy?
I made a nozzle using a glue gun nozzle. You can also use a silicon gun nozzle. You can just tape it to a water hose. Make sure to turn the water on just a little or the pressure will pop the nozzle off. It will take time to fill, but just needs patience 👍
What size do you prefer for punching? A3 or A2?
Really nice video!
I found a fairly easy way to raise and lower my heavy bags which may work for you. First, I attach two heavy duty, offsetting, ratcheting tie down straps to the bracket on my ceiling and to the top end of my bag.
Then I alternate tightening or loosening each strap individually depending on whether I’m raising or lowering the bag.
The last step is to fasten the bag to the ceiling hanger if raising the bag and the straps can be loosened and removed. Or if lowering, once the bag reaches the ground you can detach it obviously!
Hope this helps someone.
Awesome!!! Thank you 😅
@@Kewlus just search on YT "Truckers Knot" this is how I do it!
Nice to see that stand again. Can you remind us how to make it
Here it is: th-cam.com/video/1brftwQTSOw/w-d-xo.html
You can buy an attachment that will fill these. Thanks for video
Nice I also make that to
Exellent
Here in the California Delta, you can find those floating freely in the rivers virtually daily.
😂😂😂
Get me one bro!
Great video.
Try the Polyform LD-3
It's shaped like the heavy bag and is better for hooks and bodywork.
Also check out the G-1 for a double end bag it's a blast.
How's the LD-3 holding up?
Have you tried a larger "fender", say the G-6, and if so, does the "in built" vertical "ribbing" help longevity??
@@katiebea9258 I could beat this thing with a bat for a decade and wouldn't break it. I made another one using a 29 inch Hopper ($12) and BaseGel ($22) that I also really like.
The BaseGel is a great addition.
I advise using a spring with these.
@@maybebabyny I almost cracked a rib at the ingenuity of your "kid's hopper" idea. I presume the hopper valve couldn't "hold up" under the pressure of the water, so you went "outside the box" to think of the basegel as "filler". How HARD is the basegel-filled Hopper and how the heck did you guess "water to" ratio? I have never used basegel (nor heard of it until your reply) so imagine you put in the gel via a straw or some such and then added water? Does basegel act like "foam door jamb insulation" (sorta?) where it expands to meet its' "offered volume"? I am down to polyforms G6 (11 x 30) and LD-3 (12+ x 29) as remaining contenders. Would YOU consider the "basegel-filled" idea inside an LD-3? Is the basegel HEAVIER than water-filled?
@@katiebea9258 Glad you enjoyed my experiment!
The BaseGel is a very nice edition for the Hopper as my thinking was that it would lesson the impact a bit to protect the thinner rubber on the Hopper. I actually prefer the Taylor Made Low Drag Buoy at 13x24 over the LD-3. While lighter it moves well and forces we to use my feet more effectively. I don't believe BaseGel adds weight but definitely changes the feel of the punch surface.
Are you hanging this from a ceiling or stand?
@@maybebabyny have an exterior area under an unused haymow where it will hang from a rafter ...
A good idea is to use a plastics conditioner a couple of times a year, otherwise they dry out and crack eventually.
Do you pour the plastics conditioner on the inside or rub in on the exterior of the water bouy?
@@slickwilly6868my guess is outside, but doing both wouldn’t hurt. My bag did rip eventually but I didn’t out anything on it so I filled it with sand, wrapped it in duct tape and she works good.
I do miss the water bag though
@@slickwilly6868inside is full of water...
What size is your bouy? Weve just bought an 18" polyform i cant wait to try it.
The aqua bags lessen shock on the wrist and elbow ( so they say ). How is that buoy on the joints, say compared to a heavy bag??.
The A3 is way too big for my liking. Haven’t been using it really
hi mate! what type of screw are you using?
Whats the mesurement
I just ordered one. How long do you think will last?
Lol
Nice😎😎😎👍
Thanks ✌
You drilled a hole, but I couldn’t tell what you used to fill the hole with to prevent water from leaking. What kind of nuzzle you need to buy from Amazon if you don’t want to drill a hole? 🥺
I made a nozzle using silicone gun nozzle
Hey man, did you fill it up all the way?? Mine weights 80lb, should. I get it to 120
Yes all the way, but such great weight is a challenge to hang up and remove
Man I got one from an Aussie boat shop online but it’s freak air filled. I need to figure a way to replace the needle valve and fill it with water. Great video though mate. Might have to copy your stand too!
Have you worked out how to do it?
@@BellaaaDC yeah. I bough a regular garden tap adaptor and drilled out the needle valve to 12mm and pushed in the adaptor and glued it in with 5minute epoxy. A hose end will sit in it nicely. Filled it up the took out the. Threaded sleeve filled that with epoxy to seal it shut. If that makes sense.
@@lukeaugustini7866 super helpful thanks! Can you link the hose adaptor you bought? I think I can picture it but just want to see that part is what I am thinking of :)
@@lukeaugustini7866 hi Luke can you please go through in a bit more detail what items you I used to fill your bag with water? I’ve bought one with the air nozzle as well…
Cheers Jamie
@@imbatman8943 holy smokes. Michael Keaton it’s an honour. Yeah for sure I just got a universal tap adaptor for a hose end that goes on the end of your tap in the front yard from the big green box and shoved that in through the air nozzle hole once I carefully drilled it out with a 10mm drill bit. It’ll come with two parts threaded together one that threads on to the tap itself. I took that part off and clued the hole closed to act as a cap once it dried. Hope this helps
Always top it up with air 😉
Curious to know if you tried a round or two on that buoy with less water? I image it would feel like hitting an opponent in the breadbasket.
Yeah I did and that's exactly what it felt like!
You definitely want to fill it up till its full. I have one that is a bit bigger than this, but mine is more of an oval than a tear drop shape. I was having trouble getting it completely full, i had it maybe 90 -95% and figured that would be OK. It was full enough that water was coming out the valve when it was sitting on the ground, but when you hang it up there were a couple of slight folds or dents around the black top. Not perfectly round from a full inflation is what i am trying to say. What ended up happening over the course of a year of so was that those dents ended up splitting and leaking. I think if i had it maxed out with water, those splits wouldnt have happened. Ive patched it up as best i can, used a bike puncture kit, cut off a piece of tubing from a push bike tyre and glued that over a larger section, then wrapped it with gaff tape. But i still need to inflate it fully otherwise the same thing will happen again.
Hello. Answer a few questions
1. You hit with all your might?
2. How long has it served you?
Yes back then I could hit much harder. I didn’t use it for very long, so can’t say how long it would last
@@Kewlus Thanks for the answer.
The aqua training bag lasted +- 4 years now iam trying the a3 because the aqua training bag are +-200€ so ill give you an answer how long this a3 wil last
How much does it weigh filled?
30 - 40 kg
Fantastisk. How many liter.... is it fuel or half. What du you recomend... thanks 👍
It’s probably about 50 litres. I filled it about 3/4 full
@@Kewlus Okk is 25 liter or less not ok. For it not swinging to much.
If you don’t fill it up enough it is just saggy
@@Kewlus Thanks👍
How has this been hokdong up any issues todate? Thank you
Oh brother that was a long time ago and I'm sure it would have lasted a lifetime if my arthritis didn't set in. I was no longer able to lift the bloody thing, so I sold it at a garage sale. It was great while I had it hanging up for a while, and being specifically made for the ocean/sun elements it would have lasted forever.
The bag is tooo harsh for me.
Супер ✊👍💪🤙👍👍👍👍
What size did you get?
A3
Anyone compare Taylor to Polyform yet?
Which more better a3 or a4?
Just a different size
Thank you! Bit I dont think I got that much money 😂😂
Yeah not cheap that one! I wonder if I could make it using garbage bags? 😂
Reedy Kewlus That would be a great idea 💡😂
Home made one PLEASE
Coming!!!
Can we get you the real thing?
Yes sure!
Bossman, any chance you know the weight of it when full?
About 40kg I recon
40+ kg
1:22 how long did it take you to figure it out? Lol
You might want to lay off the pipe dude.
Is it just me, or does he look like Christian bale? Lol
Few people said that! 🤣🤣🤣
fk you had me until I saw a 12 year old girl throwing a tennis ball with her left hand.
Don’t fucking get this crap if you live in Canada
Why? Frozen ? Stick some antifreeze in it
Put ani frost inside😂😂😂👍
