    There's a difference between an airboard and a hovercraft. An airboard is something that slides on something filled with air. Hovering means absolutely nothing is touching the ground.

      🔵 { O mankind, worship your Lord, who created you and those before you, that you may become righteous - ( 2:21 )
      🔴 [He] who made for you the earth a bed [spread out] and the sky a ceiling and sent down from the sky, rain and brought forth thereby fruits as provision for you. So do not attribute to Allah equals while you know [that there is nothing similar to Him]. ( 2:22 )
      🔵 And if you are in doubt about what We have sent down upon Our Servant [Muhammad], then produce a surah the like thereof and call upon your witnesses other than Allah, if you should be truthful. ( 2:23 )
      🔴 But if you do not - and you will never be able to - then fear the Fire, whose fuel is men and stones, prepared for the disbelievers.( 2:24 )
      🔵 And give good tidings to those who believe and do righteous deeds that they will have gardens [in Paradise] beneath which rivers flow. Whenever they are provided with a provision of fruit therefrom, they will say, "This is what we were provided with before." And it is given to them in likeness. And they will have therein purified spouses, and they will abide therein eternally. ( 2:25 )

      @nathandepater1881 8 лет назад

      +That One Friend You will become more off balance, causing you to go in a direction, depending on the side on which you place the leaf blower. You will not go up, because the way it works is that it goes upwards, because of the force the air executes on the ground. This will mean you will first go up a little higher, and then drop a little lower, until after less then halve a second you have a balance, which wont increase or decrease with the amount of leafblowers you use. It will however help if you are heavier then the board can handle. Seeing that you are a teenage girl, this probably isn't the case ;-)

      @nathandepater1881 8 лет назад

      +Yuri Grigsby Apparantly, it works even better on water, but it doesnt go in any direction by itself, and you need somewhere to push of from. This is usually not often the case on water. If you however, have someone to push you, and you are not affraid to be stuck in the middle of a pool, go for it!
