Flyboard Aerobics

This weekend we have the Scottish Boat Show at the Kip Marina, which is directly opposite our house.

I popped over for a few hours to wander around the marina and take in some of beautiful boats and the craft stalls.

While I was there, they were Flyboarding in the Marina. I managed to get this shot as he did an amazing flying maneouvre.

Flyboarding was created by water sports enthusiast Franky Zapata, from Marseille. This ingenious and deceptively simple device bolts on to the powerful motor of a jet ski, then routes the resulting water jet through a long hose that connects to a pair of jet boots and hand-held stabilizers. The arrangement lets you fly, Iron Man style, up to 9 metres in the air - or leap headfirst through the waves like a human dolphin.

They were giving 10 minute lessons on how to Flyboard. And before you ask, no I will not be doing that.

Hope you are all having a good Saturday.
