Flyboard – an extreme sport against the backdrop of exotic Cancun
In Latin American cities there are hot salsa clubs, nightclubs, and carnivals. Tours to South America also attract extreme sports enthusiasts. All conditions are created for them here: in Nicaragua you can ride a snowboard down the slope of an extinct volcano, in Peru and Argentina – conquer the peaks of the Andes, in Brazil – experience an unforgettable adventure rafting down wild rivers. And what waterfalls in Brazil! In terms of beauty and height, it's mind-boggling how nature could create this indescribable splendor.
At the same time, Mexico also has something to boast about. In the town of Cancun on the Caribbean coast, a new novelty awaits extreme sports enthusiasts and those who love sharp, unusual sensations. It is the flyboard. Yes, almost a flying board!
The flyboard was invented by Franky Zapata in 2011. And tour companies in Cancun are practically the only ones offering this service. In the whole world!
So, the flyboard. It consists of a pair of sturdy boots attached to a strong, triangular-shaped plastic board, nozzles and hoses connected to a boat by a special system. The person wishing to ride over the water under the sky stands on the board, and the operator on the boat turns on the system. Immediately, powerful jets of water burst from the lower part of the board, from three nozzles. They literally push the person off the surface of the sea, and the flyboarder flies!
In terms of sensation, it is almost like flying on an air skate. You need to be able to keep your balance! And follow the recommendations of a specially hired instructor assigned to the aspiring flyer. He also starts the boat's engine, and the boat together with the 'sky surfer' heads towards the blue horizon. The Nichupté Lagoon is ideal for such entertainment. Both 15-minute flights over water and half-hour flights are available.
This entertainment is recommended for everyone who loves surfing, skateboarding, snowboarding, and just water skiing. And also for everyone who believes that extreme sports are a necessary condition for a memorable vacation. Not everyone wants to lie on the white fluffy sand of the Caribbean coast, although that's also nice. After all, cocktails and fruits are brought to your umbrella at the wave of a hand!
