Zapata Racing has achieved the dream of mankind and offers you the first video of Franky Zapata flying on the innovation Flyboard® Air.
The Independent Propulsion Unit represents 4 years of hard work for a result exceeding all records:
– Autonomous flight up to 10,000 feet
– Top speed of 150km/h (93,2 mph)
– 10 min autonomy
Although the UFO is still in prototype phase and won’t be on the market in 2016, it has exactly the same behavior as the ESH Flyboard® Pro Series.
Those who wants to feel the thrill, or pending the governmental approval, we invite you to discover the products ZR:
Flyboard® Pro Series , Hoverboard by ZR® et Jetpack by ZR® that allow you to fly safely over the water.

Now, that's a lawsuit waiting to happen. Hope they have really good insurance lined up.

First thought was that I need one of these in my life. Second thought was that a lot of people are going to die as a result of this invention. Still want.

I was told hoverboards don't work on water, except for Pit Bulls

For old farts like me that remember when the Saints played in the old Tulane Stadium, before each game a guy with a rocket pack would fly from one goalpost to the other. I've wondered over the years why technology hadn't evolved to where these types of things became common. Looks like it has taken 50 years but it's finally here.
That thing looks cool.

My thoughts exactly, but I'm pretty sure if you're going up that high...
you'd wear a parachute.
