Flyboarding at Lake Powell

Flyboarding is the closest thing to flying over the water. Jets of water lift you above the surface while you balance on the board, then you can hover, dive and pop back up. It looks hard, but with a coach guiding you most people are hovering in their first session.

How Flyboarding Works

A flyboard connects to a jet ski with a long hose. The jet ski pumps water up the hose and out through nozzles under your feet, which lifts you into the air. Small movements of your feet and body steer you, and the throttle controls how high you go.

On your first rides, your coach runs the throttle from the jet ski so you can focus on balance. As you get comfortable they give you more height.

Your First Session

1. Book or call usBook online or call or text us to set up a time for your group.
2. Gear upWe fit you with a life jacket and get your feet into the board bindings.
3. Learn to riseFloat on your stomach, then let the jets lift you. Stand tall, keep your legs straight and look ahead.
4. Hover and flyOnce you can balance, your coach takes you higher. Try a dive and a dolphin when you are ready.

Who Can Try It?

Any age group or skill level can learn to flyboard, and you do not need any water sports experience. If you can balance on your feet, you can learn. Young riders can try with a parent or guardian’s approval, and everyone wears a life jacket.

Tips for First-Time Flyers

• Keep your legs straight and your body stacked over the board. Bent knees send you sideways.
• Look at the horizon, not down at the water.
• Small movements go a long way. Relax and let the jets do the work.
• Expect to fall in at first. The water is soft, and every fall teaches you balance.

Best Time to Flyboard on Lake Powell

Calm, glassy water makes learning easiest, so mornings are best. Summer and early fall bring warm water for falling in. In spring and late fall a wetsuit keeps you comfortable. See water temperature by month.
