Water JetPack Technology
Flying with a water Jetpack is spectacular! The pilot can travel high above the water (or also below it 🙂 ) by means of two powerful waterjets generated by a special waterpump.
The pilot is strepped in to a comfortable water jetpack seat of high quality and will use two stearing sticks to stear the water jetpack over the water. On both sides of the water jetpack there are nozzles which are connected to special water hoses and those are connected to the water pump, which generates the water jet streams pushing the water jetpack pilot above the water.

Do I have to be strong to be able to fly ?
No you do not have to be strong to fly with a jetpack. Your arms only need to carry a limited weight to control the control arms of the jetpack. Just stay calm and that’s it.
Will I be wet ?
Yeah ! You’ll start and you’ll end in the water. So a wetsuite comes in handy. When the weather is hot, no wetsuite is needed.
Which qualifications must be met in order to fly ?
The beauty of flying with a Waterhopper (the water jetpack) is that anyone with a swimming diploma can try it. You only need to have normal healthy physical conditions. If you are pregnant, we advise you not to fly. Spectacles wearers are advised to wear sport glasses.
Can a jetpack hurt me ?
The pressure from the nozzles can reach up to 60PSI and can not cause physical damage. However, we do recommend keeping hands and feet away from the jets, because they pump away thousands of liters of water per minute.
Is flying with a water jetpack easy ?
Most pilots can fly independently within 10 minutes. How fast you pick it up is different for everyone
What will happen if I fall ?
If you fall, you fall happily into the water. You float quickly to the surface with the aid of the lifejacket and buoyancy of the jetpack.
