The power of the Jet Ski is used to propel water through the hose, and the user is able to control the navigation with heel/toe pressure! Your Flyboard experience will include a 10-minutes of instruction and 20-minutes of flight time!For most people it takes about 10 to 25 minutes to learn the basics of flyboarding with an instructor.
