Locals: Hydro X Flyboarding For $99

by Laura on May 10, 2013

Post image for Locals: Hydro X Flyboarding For $99

I had to post this because I didn’t know it is even exists!

Right now on Living Social you can get a Flyboarding session for $99.

What is Flyboarding you ask?  (I didn’t know either).

Combining aspects of Jet Skiing, water skiing, wakeboarding, acrobatic diving, and more, flyboarding is the perfect summer activity for thrill-seekers:

• $99 ($199 value) for a 30-minute flyboarding experience
• Jet-powered machine allows propulsion in water & air
• Open Monday through Friday by appt. only and Saturday and Sunday from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m.

Rocket From the Water and Have a Blast
Head to Owl Creek in Virginia Beach or Jordan Lake in Apex, NC and get ready to shoot from the water on your jet-powered machine. You’ll have two nozzles connected to your feet that will propel you swiftly from the water; to control your movements, find your balance and tilt your feet. You’ll also have two nozzles for your hands to help with stabilization.

This could be an AWESOME graduation gift (or maybe even Mother’s Day!)
