spectacular swan dives from 20 to 30 feet up. http://oi46.tinypic.com/5k3y3a.jpg |

There is a long, flexible hose running from the output of the Jetski to the bottom of the board. The Jetski operator controls the power, and the person on the board has limited maneuverability by doing subtle weight shifts. |

Here's Newfoundland commedian, Rick Mercer, 'FlyBoarding' out in Alberta for his weekly national tv show last summer. Yes, he did sail with us on the Mirage 33 when he lived here. http://www.cbc.ca/player/Shows/Shows...ID/2280843934/ |
