For the adrenaline junkies out there and the thrill seekers, they say, you haven't tried everything in life if you haven't tried flyboarding. The magnificence of this young activity, which originated in France in 2011 where flyboard was invented by Franky Zapata, a watercraft rider. It took some time and many prototypes before he mastered the science which allows the device to climb out of the water and be stable in the air. In short it is a water propelled jetpack that can help you to soar above water to about 30 feet.
This invention is protected by the French Institut national de la propriété industrielle (INPI) and the patent's
owner is Mr. Zapata as the groundbreaking inventor who introduced the world to the awesome and somewhat new watersport of flyboarding. There is no weight limit when using the Flyboard. But if you want to indulge in this you must be at least 18 years old. You can either buy it or rent it. The purchasing price is way higher, reaching more than $5,000, where the rent price tag hits around the $100 and $200 threshold.
Not all, but some of the best and most popular spots in the world for flyboarding are:
- Lindbergh Bay, Caribbean http://stthomasflyboarding.com/
- Destin, Merritt island and Marathon, Florida
- Hampshire and Peterborough, UK
- Dubai, UAE
