French watercraft rider Franky Zapata has invented THE FLYBOARD, which lets you feel like you are IRON MAN. Instead of flying in air The Flyboard lets you fly on water with the help of water craft. This water craft is powered by more than 100 horse power, letting the rider the freedom to go anywhere on water and even underwater. The Flyboard can be rented for around US$150 for 30 minutes and US$250 for 60 minutes. The arrangement lets you fly, Iron Man style, up to 9 meters in the air - or leap headfirst through the waves like a human dolphin. You can buy it for under 5000 Euro (US$6700). The Flyboard is a bolt-on attachment that connects to a jet ski. You attach a tube to the main jet exit, which is then routed up the side of the vehicle. From this tube comes a thick, flexible 9-metre hose that connects to the jet boots - and the hand controls come out of the jet boot platform.

It's a magnificent looking device, the Flyboard looks like a truly extravagant and ridiculously fun way to hurt yourself this summer. The French jet ski champion has just put together an absolutely insane leisure product, released a short video about it - and then took off on honeymoon, where presumably he's having about the least romantic getaway of his life as his phone and email inbox go absolutely bananas. And here it is: the Zapata Flyboard. This ingenious and deceptively simple device bolts on to the powerful motor of a jet ski, then routes the resulting water jet through a long hose that connects to a pair of jet boots and hand-held stabilizers. The arrangement lets you fly, Iron Man style.
