Check out Flyboards on youtube. Most amazing video. If you have a PWC you are there. Only a few thousand $$
Only seen a couple in Australia so far.

Cheers.

A few pics from my last week at the lake...

Some fireworks from the water..

A salute from the wife which may have resulted in my own salute! :mrgreen:

And some tie-ups over the course of a few days..

It's a board with water nozzles that you strap to your feet. Attached by a hose to the jet of a PWC.
I had seen the youtube video a while back but this was the first time I'd seen one in person. They are amazing to watch.

You can rent them here in San Diego - I've seen them out on Mission Bay.
Very cool to watch - just wondering when the first personal injury lawsuit will hit.....

This is our local dealer, but with all of the mechanical know how on the forum, someone should be able to build one out of parts from Home Depot, don't ya think? :mrgreen:

My friends parents own the local one here in Orlando. No thanks, even with it being free.

I checked out some YouTube videos on flyboards. Awesome to watch, but that would bust my body up. Plus I would need a pwc the size of a Fire Engine ladder truck.

If i was 20 again I think I would be in for that..at least once.

Hey Everyone,

It's been almost a year since I've been on the board. Here are some pics from this past week.

The new Admiral, cute little colombian honey

This one actually likes boats too, she spent 6 months on a sailboat in the Pacific a few years ago island hopping.

Also made friends with the family who owns a water tramp, so the girls went out and attacked that

There's 5 apartment complexes on this lake. UCF and Fullsail are 15 minutes away. There's only 5 active weekly boaters and I'm the youngest (31) and have the nicest boat on the lake. They come to me.
