The personal equipment of this sport consists of a board connected by a long hose to a watercraft, 2 jet nozzles and 2 other pipes etc. which help the operator to control the balance and direction.

Basically, the flyboard uses a jet engine pumping water and then thrusting it out of the nozzles under high pressure. This thrust can lift the player up to the height of 9 meters or move forward with high speed.

Before being adopted in Vietnam, flyboarding has become an attractive and favorite sport of young adults in Dubai, France, England, Thailand etc. With a lightweight design, the flyboard can help players to fly above the water and do curves, dips or flips.

This game is a great choice for adventurous people who like discovery and thrilling experiences. According to Franky Zapata, it could take you a few minutes to get familiar with the basic techniques and about an hour to use the flyboard to do some simple flies.
