Flyboarding might be the most awesome water sport ever invented

2/19/2013

Would you like the ability to fly 45 feet above the ocean, surfing through the air like some sort of god? In that case, great news! Flyboarding is a new extreme water sport, and after taking off (no pun intended) in Australia, it's now arrived in the U.S. A hose is hooked up to a jet ski, and the rider stands on a snowboard-like platform with water-jet exhausts underneath it. The result? You fly over the ocean as you’re held in the air by two powerful plumes of water. The jet ski just follows rider-less behind you, giving you total freedom of movement. You can also dive beneath the waves and race through the surf like a dolphin. Sweet.
