I honestly am not sure whether this was intended or not, but I found a way to make beach balls remain in the air without anyone touching them.
My local chat is being spammed with "Beach Ball was hit (number of) times before touching the ground!" and I whenever I hit them with any thing that they could interact with, they would go flying
(see below).

This technically wasnt intended as an exploit, but due to how the game identifies the hit counter, it counts whenever any projectile-like entity comes in contact with the beach ball, this exploit was also doable since the game first introduced the beach ball's hit counter (from version 1.3)

Note that this is also doable in the console and mobile platforms as well.

At least you have your own little beach party

except it can be annoying on servers and/or multiplayer sessions with friends as it spams the chat, making it harder to communicate with others.
