Have you ever found yourself zoning out, imagining something completely unrelated to daily life? We’ve all been there—wishing we could lift off the ground just like in those sci-fi movies.


Guess what? That wild dream has already become a part of real-world water adventures! From jet-powered hoverboards to inflatable launchers, let’s dive into five thrilling water sports that actually make you fly.


1. Flyboarding: Soar Like a Happy Dolphin


Flyboarding is a mind-blowing invention that lets us look just like a dolphin bursting out of the ocean. This powerful gadget uses strong water jets from a small platform where we stand. A long hose connects the board to a water source, shooting out powerful streams that lift us high into the air.


We can dive back into the water, belly-flop like a playful mermaid, and speed underwater like an energetic sea creature. It’s a real-life way to turn into a superhero over the waves!


2. Aquatic Hover Board: Surf and Fly


If flyboarding sounds cool, the aquatic hover board is like its stylish sibling. Instead of standing still, we ride it like a skateboard, spinning and jumping above the water. Designed by Franky Zapata, a French jet ski champion, this board was inspired by the iconic hoverboard from "Back to the Future II."


It can reach up to 16 miles per hour and lift us 16 feet above the surface. Time to unleash our inner Marty McFly!


3. Blob Jumping: Get Ready to Be Launched


At first glance, “blob jumping” might sound strange, but once we see it, it all makes sense. A huge inflatable blob sits near the water’s edge. One person (or two) jumps onto one end, sending us flying sky-high from the other. It might not be the most graceful way to take off, but it’s definitely one of the most fun. It's a creative way to use basic physics to create some unforgettable memories!


4. Subwing: Fly Underwater Like a Pro


Subwing brings an entirely new twist—flying underwater! Invented by Norwegian Simon Sivertsen during a vacation in Greece, the Subwing is a carbon-fiber wing that we hold onto while being gently pulled by a boat. We can tilt and turn the wings to glide gracefully below the surface, feeling like a fish in the ocean.


While it looks a bit daring (watch out for reefs and stay connected to the boat!), detailed guides recommend a safe speed of 2–4 nautical miles per hour. It’s underwater exploration with a thrilling twist, perfect for adventurous souls.


5. Jetlev Flyer: Water Jetpacks for the Win


The Jetlev Flyer brings all the coolness of a jetpack into the world of water sports. Strapped into a water-powered backpack, we are lifted into the air by two powerful streams shooting from our shoulders. Jetlev Flyers are especially popular among thrill-seekers and even made a splash in a James Bond movie! This ride is a little more relaxed compared to flyboarding, with a typical height of around 30 feet above the water. If we’ve ever dreamed of walking (or flying) on water like a legend, this is our chance.


Come Fly with Us!


These five wild water adventures prove that flying isn't just a fantasy anymore. It's something we can experience for real! From soaring above the water to gliding beneath the surface, each of these sports brings a unique thrill that’s just waiting for us to try.


So, Lykkers, which one are you most eager to take on? Grab your gear, gather your friends, and let's dive into some unforgettable fun in the water!
