If you’ve ever yearned to float around in your very own jetpack, I’d suspect owning a hoverboard would be pretty high on the holiday wish list as well. Now, for around $6,600, sci-fi fans can get a futuristic experience that combines the best of both worlds.
The Flyboard, invented by jetski racing champion Franky Zapata, is essentially a water-powered jetpack with bolted-in shoes that can be strapped to your feet, enabling users to skate around at a height of nine meters. Like the Jetlev jetpack, it’s powered through a hose attachment that connects to a jetski’s thruster. Propulsion is generated as the force of the water runs up through the hose and shoots out from the bottom of the board. Water is also diverted to a pair of arm thrusters that can be used to steer the device.
So why would anyone choose to buy the Flyboard over the Jetlev? Besides the addition of some nifty shoes, it costs a fraction of the traditional jetpack version ($99,500, includes boat). And oh, with some practice, riders can perform some crazy aerial tricks. In the promotional video, Zapata demonstrates some of these dazzlers by launching in and out of the water like a dolphin, completing 360 degree spin moves and even pulling off backward somersaults.

I wonder if they would let you pay for just using for a day or not
