Dubai as a tourist destination is usually synonymous with luxury, seven-star hotels, buge shopping malls and exhilirating theme parks. However, it may come as a surprise to some that Dubai, in part due to the relatively calm waters of the Persian Gulf, is also home to some of the most extreme adventure water sports, including one that has taken the world by storm – flyboarding.<\/p>\n

What is Flyboarding?<\/h2>\n

What is flyboarding? Relatively simple – strap on a powerful water-jet board on to your feet, take to the waters and let the force of the jet help you soar into the sky and peform feats that one could only dream of. The structure of a flyboard is similar to that of a snowboard, for lack of anything remotely close to flyboarding, that is propelled into the air by pressurized streams of water from below. Where exactly is \u201cbelow?\u201d Well, under each foot is a dedicated jet pack that is fed water through a long tube, the other end of which is connected to a jet ski. The water goes from this Jet Ski, through the connection tube and into the jetpacks underneath your feet, propelling you through water and air.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s get technical for a bit now. The pressure of the water jet streaming out of the flyboard is controlled by the throttle (also known as the personal water craft). When you hold down the throttle, the energy is redirected inside the connection tube helping increase the propulsion. For beginners, this is often confusing and therefore a certified instructor is assigned to you while on your first flyboard experience. However, once you feel like you\u2019re in control, and are ready to step up your skills, you may invest in the adaptor kit that puts you in the driver seat. That\u2019s right, you\u2019re in full control.<\/p>\n

What makes Dubai the ideal spot to host this activity? To begin with, the waters of the Persian Gulf, especially along the coast of Dubai, remain calm throughout the year. Providing a unique view of the Burj Al Arab and surrounding areas, the experience only intensifies. Throw in personalized attention and professional instruction from the hands of an expert, you have got yourself a great deal.<\/p>\n
