Are you ready to defy gravity? Flyboarding promises an unforgettable high above Hainan’s stunning waters.

Originating in France, the flyboard operates by shooting out a powerful jet of water. This jet, with as much as 100 horsepower, can propel the rider up to around 10 meters above the surface! You’ll flit around like a flying fish, doing loops in the air and even backwards somersaults, and then diving sleekly back into the water like a dolphin, sending up a graceful splash!

Come to Hainan and see what kind of water acrobatics you can do!

Tips:

1. Pay attention to weather conditions. Flyboarding activities may be canceled or delayed in case of strong winds, heavy rain, thunderstorms, or other severe weather. Please confirm the schedule in advance with the operating company.

2. Get adequate rest and sleep before the activity.

3. Wear light, comfortable, and sports-appropriate clothing, such as shorts, T-shirts, and sneakers. Avoid wearing slippers or high heels.

4. Follow your coach’s safety instructions, and be sure to wear a life vest.

5. Pay attention to your own health and safety. Visitors with high blood pressure, heart conditions, epilepsy, recent surgery, or those who are pregnant, under the influence of alcohol, or otherwise in poor health should not participate in water sports.
