Franky Zapata uses a flyboard to zoom in and out of the water and leap through the air. Looks pretty incredible. Who else wants to try to this out? Report by Jeremy Barnes.

Finally. My dreams of being a majestic dolphin are finally coming true.
One wrong turn.....and you could be drowning! LOL
saw a dude with this and shit my pants
is your visual bowel disorder catching?
Same, it looked amazing!
We've made a follow-up to this video at /watch?v=4ofeVKngmM0
"And it starts right n-" Hahaha XDDD That's all I can ever think of when I see a water jet pack. I've been corrupted. Dangit, viral videos!
So, it's a real life F.L.U.D.D. :3
Don’t worry dude, soon we'll have the POLTERGUST that can actually suck up ghosts.
The thing they don't show you is what is on the other end of that hose attached to the back. I think you have to have a jet ski follow you around and it's motor provides the power? None of these vids explain how it works. It's still cool of course, but what would be amazing is if it were self-contained.
If you watch the end of the video, you can see that the hose is attached to a small floating pump that is just dragged along with you as you 'fly' around. Of course, if it was self contained it would be better, but it appears to be an independent, modular system which is close enough. It does look batshit-crazy though!
Capt Nemo if either of you think this could ever be "self contained" to somehow hold all the water you would need to run it for even one second, much less several minutes or hours, you might want to sit down and rethink the problems involved here. Start by googling: "How much does one gallon of water weigh?" ;-)
William Mueller The system doesn't have to 'hold' water. Simply pump it, exactly like a jetski does. It's the same principle, only more compact and you don't sit on it. You ARE in the supply of water that you need, so why hold it? The system would still be a self contained unit.
Capt Nemo Except a jetski is not able to lift itself "up to 30 ft in the air" slowly... hence the need for the floating pump that must remain in the water at all time. If you want to ditch that but keep the functionality, you must bring the water 30 ft in the air with you.
William Mueller Fair point - I accept that, for sustained lift, I agree. Other than that, it could still do much of what you see this guy doing in the video if it was self-contained. But to be honest, I think it is cool the way it is. I didn't make the original comment on it being self-contained btw, just entertaining the idea of the OP. It still looks hilarious fun though.
Super Mario Sunshine, nuff said
:')
I just noticed the similarities and oH MY--
YAHOO, YAHOO
*Happy Pianta Noise*
I think this actually proves the practicality of an Ironman type jet apparatus. I thought it could be clumsy to control in real life but this guy just proved it's not that hard with proper training.
showed this to my work colleague, he said that near barceloneta and hospitalet in spain there is a guy at the weekend doing this and apparently (no guarentees) you can rent it....AWESOME!
Aquaman + Ironman
Pretty cool, but it has absolutely nothing to do with how dolphins swim, and they certainly wouldn't let you come anywhere near them with this thing. Why do they bother making the association at all? The dolphin bunk is a waste of viewer time and video space.
Callme Ishmael Calm down Ishmael
Omg that dove commercial before this was awesome! haha I almost cried! lol
That's a pretty gruesome description... yet feels so true, nice one.
Epic.
Saw the first one ever used in Africa today at the Red Bull Flugtag in Cape Town, South Africa. Franky Zapata was also operating it.
The look on his face when he faceplants into the water is enough to say now. If he he can hook up to a massive mains cable, a scuba would not be too much you'd think
I did this in charleston!! So much fun!!
Wow! Water power is great!
There's that neat pul--to-instantly-inflate vest, that would work quite nicely.
"...there's a curiosity, wondering how these creatures live and spend their days and nights."
It is very likely there is a quick release mechanism and a safety crew nearby. Product designers are (usually) not that short sighted. I think a guy who designed a jet pack figured out some simple safety precautions.
I'd love to see him show up to a public pool with that thing and start OWNING like a comic book villain.. hahaha
this is the coolest thing I've ever seen....
you have to be in really good shape to do this, ive tried it and it is quite hard to master, hell, even staying in one place without falling on ur face is hard XD
Its called a flyboard. You hook it up to a jetski. They got a hoverboard one thats pretty tight too
yes, it is. it is carrying the motor pump, as far as i know from an magazine article.
Miss the Cote azure , loved Marseilles and Toulon 👍🏼
cant wait for mass production ^^
I would use one of those every day if I had one!
This is so great...I want one !
I really need this now.
it ́s all fun and games until someone Dolphin dives a narwhal
kiliili ælææo 😂😂😂
The pipe - not cable - is connected to the jet-ski, which powers it. The price they quote in the video doesn't include the jet-ski, also.
Imagine doing this but gliding on the sea like speedboat while screaming, "I am the son of sea god!"
It doesnt lose power. there is a tube that collects water from the ocean so it can blast water out to push him up.
lol , it does remind me of Astroboy.
Im not over 30 , but my uncle used to watch that when he was young and gave me all of his VHS of Astroboy when i was a kid.
The long tube on the end I believe is the very source that sucks in the ocean water which is also what you use to propel yourself around, so I don't think that's possible
'Stark' just doesn't want that 'arc reactor' to fall into the 'wrong hands'
are u serious..freaking luv it
I need this now.
You can if you attach to the outboard of a jet-ski. Just like how the Water Jetpack works, but in the Ironman setup.
Best.. creation.. ever..
Did they just find this out at ITN? Its been on the web and youtube for months, at least 2
It's a not a tail but pipe that if I'm held correct, it's attached to a jet ski/boat and that's where all the pressure comes out of
Holy Christ this looks like fun!
Ummm, I think I've just about almost seen it all!
A great invention
humanity at it's finest.
OMG BUILD AN IRONMAN SUIT AROUND IT!!!! THAT WOULD BE SO AWESOME
I would love to see a beginner trying to learn this. Could you imagine someone flopping around the lake out of control? lol.
Honestly they use high pressure water to cut through thick steel ! so imagine the water pressure behind this unit ! it is possible to produce a unit that will perform like this .
I know what I want for Christmas now. =DDD
All i want for Christmas!!! haha
No. Fuel. The fuel that powers the engine that causes the thrust to propel the water (like in a jet ski). Or is this a water powered engine?
Any dolphin that came close would get shredded by that jet stream.
This is how the next bad guy on Spiderman would have look like
how long is the hose? you cant fly further then the length of your hose.
that is so freakin cool, that feeling holy shit, must try!
*low whistle* Looks awesome.
looks sicker than JETLEV + IRON MAN!!!
would be good if you could leave a link to the product in desciption ?
amazingly awesome !!
so at a guess im going to say that the large pipe is connected to a modified jetski power and water pump system? would that be where it gets the water power from and it would explain the big black float that follows him around ?
a lot of people rent these where i live (southern california). i saw about a dozen people doing it throughout this summer
Looks so fun
0:34 Dolphins impression. "Damn it. We cant do that"!
This is so amazingggg....
Kyles dad would love this.
Wow. That is cooky cool.
beautiful
CHRISTMAS WISHLIST! :D
FIRST JETMAN, NOW WATERSTREAM ! SUPERHEROES ARE COMING TRUE
I'll wait for when you develop separate jets for each foot, so as to provide more mobility.
But yes, this is practice for the Iron Man suit. I would love to knoe the physical specs of this thing!
I KNOW WHAT I WANT FOR CHRISTMAS!
Suddenly: dolphins with frikkin laser beams.
but whats that big tube that's always behind you? It doesn't blend well.
this is the closest youll get to feeling like IRONMAN
crazy awsome i want one
Santa, you better not fail me now...
I thought it was going to be a video of a jetpack on a dolphin until i saw "that lets you swim like one"
So Long, and Thanks for All the Fish...
Just one question: How long does it last? It has to use something for power, fuel or battery.How long can you swim around 'till it starts drowning?
its the making of a new ironman armor
Amazing!
So, how long till this guy becomes a super hero?
so then...how would it be shooting the water out to create the thrust?
Even the dolphins want one
Wow! He flies just like iron man o.o' only with water...
and surprisingly.. it is even possible o.O
I want to see what can happen if someone lifts it beyond the length of the feed hose.
SUPER!
Reminds me of the first iron man propulsion gear.... minus the launching into the air and hitting a cieling projection...
It is so amazing
definitely getting that thing before i die
theyve had this in key west for years, where it started in Florida
That would be fun as hell !!
u just need to imagine what kind of videos could exist on youtube..
Shows that Iron Man like flight is possible. Never made sense to me til now.
my beer can do that, hold me
the only ting that excites me about this even more than the fact that it makes you swim like a dolphin is the fact that it makes you FUCKIN FLY! Dear santa...
