Surf’s Up - Frankie and Annette couldn’t have dreamed up these beach-time toys.

1. GOIN’ IN STYLE

This is definitely not the Schwinn of your preteen years. With the company’s 2007 Campus electric hybrid, you can relish the steepest uphill climb, even though you haven’t hit the gym in months. Its lithium polymer battery lasts about 60 miles on a four-hour charge, giving you power-assisted pedaling whenever you need it. When you don’t, just switch back to conventional biking mode and use the bike’s 21 speeds to help you set a comfortable pace. The included rack lets you head to the beach with book and boogie board in tow. http://www.schwinnbike.com

2-3. MIDDAY FUN

Water fight, anyone? When it’s too hot to read and too rough to swim, pull out your Pirate Water Cannon (http://www.fatbraintoys.com) for some fast-paced action. The 11-inch-long launcher shoots 100 mini cannonballs of water per tank. And you don’t need to bring the batteries along: With just a few pumps of the handle, you and your favorite 5-year-old can keep cool while the sun shines. If you’re not into getting wet but want something equally enjoyable to keep you busy, grab your pump-action Ball-Shooting Burp Gun (no kidding) and safely shower your opponent with 15 included ping-pong balls that “burp” when fired, either one at a time or in multiball bursts.

4. AFTER HOURS

Kites are for kids. When the sun is low on the horizon and fellow beachgoers get out their kites, wow them all with the Flytech Dragonfly from WowWee. The remote-controlled, crash-resistant Dragonfly flies for up to 10 minutes on a single, 20-minute charge of its lithium polymer battery, and obeys your every command within a 50- foot radius of the controller. Eyes that glow help you keep track of the doublewinged flyer as the light fades. http://www.wowwee.com
