Flyboarding at Dubai: Dancing on the Waves of Adrenaline
From sand to sea, we plunge into the waters of the Arabian Gulf for a bout of flyboarding. Propelled by high-powered jets of water, you’ll soar into the sky and dive like a dolphin. This extreme water sport is as exhilarating as it sounds, testing your balance and agility while offering a massive adrenaline rush.
Flyboarding propels you into the air using a water jet pack attached to a board strapped to your feet. Thrust is created by water being forced under pressure from a personal watercraft into a pair of boots with jet nozzles underneath, allowing you to soar up to 15 meters in the air or to dive headlong through the waves.
As you ascend above the water, enjoy the breathtaking panoramic views of Dubai’s coast. And when you dive beneath the azure surface, experience the cool thrill of the Arabian Gulf. Flyboarding is not just an extreme sport; it’s an unforgettable aquatic adventure that looks amazing on your Instagram feed, giving you bragging rights and captivating your followers with envy-inducing moments.
