aquatic 'hoverboard'

  Quote

 

The water-propelled device allows people to fly up to 16ft (5 metres) above the surface of the water at speeds of up to 16mph (25 km/h), as well as perform tricks including somersaults and spins.

Propulsion: Jet of water provided from a 59 ft (18 metre) hose

Maximum height: 16ft (5 metre).

Top speed: 16mph (25km/h)

Extras needed: Lesson and a motor boat

Cost: $2,675 (£1,577)

Speed: The 59 ft (18 metre) hose is attached to a ‘personal water craft’, such as a speed boat, which has between 180 and 300 horsepower.

Restrictions: There are no height restrictions for riders, although the French company notes that people weighing more than 17 stone (110kg) may not get the full effect of the device.

I might be tempted finally heh. i liked the idea of the strapped on to your feet thing but the board sounds like a better option. Can't find the info from a cursory search on how much the unit that pumps all the water costs.

The thing gets attached to your boat/skidoo or what have you. So total cost is what you have written above.

yeah but there's a thing that can go with it i'm sure. Like rather than just attaching it to your jetski there's a much smaller thing that your pull around with you.

hrmm. too lazy to bother looking. /opens painter.

cripes + thanks sG

/backs away from thread

Are you guys high, or am I? That 10k one attaches to a jetski.

The one delet linked to appears to run for 5,850 plus an attachment kit for 200. So still not cheap but 4k cheaper than the jetpack one.

I WAS drunk Chen lol. But I remember seeing the jet lev one on TV and it had its own little unit it didn't need a jet ski or boat :( I'm so confuse now

thanks for the heads up chen. i'm more a passenger in this thread than anything.

We are all passengers on the hoverboard of life.

I want to see delet fly through the air. Where can we fund this venture?

COOL
