         1 . A toy adapted to be thrown at a surface, said toy comprising: 
 a top surface, a bottom surface and sides joining said top and bottom surfaces,    said toy made from a material that has a density less than the density of water,    a first coating means for waterproofing said toy,    a second coating means for providing a roughened surface to said toy.    
     
     
         2 . The toy as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein an area where said sides join said top and bottom surfaces is rounded.  
     
     
         3 . The toy as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein said first coating means covers all of said top and bottom surfaces and said sides.

         7 . The toy as claimed in  claim 6 , wherein said particles are sand.  
     
     
         8 . The toy as claimed in  claim 6 , wherein said particles are pumice.  
     
     
         9 . The toy as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein said material is foam.  
     
     
         10 . The toy as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein said top and bottom surfaces are substantially flat.
