| 2. What is Flyboard? |
|||
| Flyboarding is an extreme water sport, one of the newest and coolest out there because it gives you a chance to experience flight! It was created by Franky Zapata in 2012. It works by using water pressure to propel the flyboard into the air with a rider balancing on top. The flyboard is controlled by a jet ski which emits water to the flyboard through a 50 foot long hose. The water in turn is pushed out the jets of the flyboard, raising it into the air. The rider on the flyboard controls the navigation of the board and jet ski, while the rider on the jet ski controls the power | |||
