What are the dangers of flyboarding?
Injury from Falls: Flyboarding involves being propelled into the air by a powerful water jet, so falls are common when you are learning. Training on how to land safely is clearly important, landing incorrectly on water can cause bruising, sprains, fractures, or even concussions. Turns out, Flyboarding is a lot harder than it looks. Once more than half of my body was out of the water, I lost my balance and immediately fell over. It took me at least two more tries before I was able to emerge completely from the water, and hover one foot above the surface.
What is the physics of flyboarding?
Flyboarding utilizes Newton’s Third Law of Motion. Water is propelled downward from jets at your feet. You fly up into the air as the equal and opposite reaction. We bring this amazing physics to life on lovely Muskoka lakes at Muskoka Wake. A Flyboard rider stands on a board connected by a long hose to a watercraft. Water is forced under pressure to a pair of boots with jet nozzles underneath which provide thrust for the rider to fly up to 22 m (72 ft) in the air or to dive headlong through the water down as far as one is willing to go.Swim far away from the jet ski, stand up while in the water with the Flyboard directly under you, keep your feet level with each other and your legs locked, and let the water pressure push you up.With proper instruction and practice, participants can fly up to 20 feet above the water’s surface on a flyboard. However, the height may vary depending on factors such as skill level. What should I wear for flyboarding? We recommend wearing swimwear or athletic clothing that allows for freedom of movement.For most people it takes about 10 to 25 minutes to learn the basics of flyboarding with an instructor. It takes about 3-4 hours of training to master the maneuvers and understand the operation of the Flyboard; which is less time needed than most water sports to concur.

The Flyboard and Jetpack, take the average user about 5-10 minutes to learn the basic maneuvers. The hoverboard takes 10–15 minutes to learn, which is why we recommend taking a longer lesson when trying the hoverboard for the first time.
Does flyboarding require training?
The course is 7-8 hours, in which the trainee receives hands-on Flyboard and Hoverboard training, practice, assembly, teaching strategies, and general maintenance. This full day training course includes: Verbal and Written training with an Aquatic Aviation Instructor. Others believe that 68 to 70 hours is the more likely average. Cessna published the national average as 75 flight hours. These flight hours can be spread over a time span of several months to a year or more. At Epic, we estimate 3 months of training to earn a Private Pilot License.In general, most student pilots take two or three flight lessons a week (about an hour of flight time each). That means, if they consistently stick to that schedule, they will reach the 65 hour average in about 26 weeks, or a little over six months.
