you obviously didn't even bother to search "Flyboard" as this was just posted a few days ago. it's kind of cool, i guess. i saw them demo these things at the Worlds ski tournament back in September. It looked fun, but got boring after about 10 minutes or so. i imagine they're pretty fun to ride, but i think I'd get bored with it pretty quickly. there's only so much you can really do on these things.

Hahahaha I couldn't watch after the music started playing. Its just a shitty knock-off of Sail.
I really hope the makers of the video made that, because otherwise there's some artist out there who thinks this is acceptable.

FLYYY!!!

wait so do you have to tow that jet ski around everywhere?

I feel like there's another thing like this that has no jet ski attached.

Yeah, it runs off the exit nozzle of the jet pump. The higher the driver revs the engine, the more thrust gets put into the jets on the board, resulting in a higher flight.

They've had demonstrations at a couple of my jet ski races.

A guy on the lake by us has one. He takes it out all the time and people just park their boats by him and watch. It's pretty entertaining
