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!
"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!
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.
Super Mario Sunshine, nuff said
:')
I just noticed the similarities and oH MY--
YAHOO, YAHOO
*Happy Pianta Noise*
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.
Aquaman + Ironman
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!
Omg that dove commercial before this was awesome! haha I almost cried! lol
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.
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
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.
That's a pretty gruesome description... yet feels so true, nice one.
yes, it is. it is carrying the motor pump, as far as i know from an magazine article.
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
You can if you attach to the outboard of a jet-ski. Just like how the Water Jetpack works, but in the Ironman setup.
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
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.
Ummm, I think I've just about almost seen it all!
I would use one of those every day if I had one!
It doesnt lose power. there is a tube that collects water from the ocean so it can blast water out to push him up.
this is the coolest thing I've ever seen....
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.
I'd love to see him show up to a public pool with that thing and start OWNING like a comic book villain.. hahaha
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 .
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
Imagine doing this but gliding on the sea like speedboat while screaming, "I am the son of sea god!"
I did this in charleston!! So much fun!!
'Stark' just doesn't want that 'arc reactor' to fall into the 'wrong hands'
Its called a flyboard. You hook it up to a jetski. They got a hoverboard one thats pretty tight too
cant wait for mass production ^^
This is so great...I want one !
"...there's a curiosity, wondering how these creatures live and spend their days and nights."
Wow! Water power is great!
humanity at it's finest.
There's that neat pul--to-instantly-inflate vest, that would work quite nicely.
are u serious..freaking luv it
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
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.
a lot of people rent these where i live (southern california). i saw about a dozen people doing it throughout this summer
I really need this now.
Best.. creation.. ever..
Miss the Cote azure , loved Marseilles and Toulon 👍🏼
Holy Christ this looks like fun!
I would love to see a beginner trying to learn this. Could you imagine someone flopping around the lake out of control? lol.
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?
FIRST JETMAN, NOW WATERSTREAM ! SUPERHEROES ARE COMING TRUE
Any dolphin that came close would get shredded by that jet stream.
I need this now.
*low whistle* Looks 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 ?
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!
Reminds me of the first iron man propulsion gear.... minus the launching into the air and hitting a cieling projection...
theyve had this in key west for years, where it started in Florida
OMG BUILD AN IRONMAN SUIT AROUND IT!!!! THAT WOULD BE SO AWESOME
I know what I want for Christmas now. =DDD
A great invention
it ́s all fun and games until someone Dolphin dives a narwhal
kiliili ælææo 😂😂😂
I KNOW WHAT I WANT FOR CHRISTMAS!
0:34 Dolphins impression. "Damn it. We cant do that"!
Kyles dad would love this.
Santa, you better not fail me now...
water powered Iron Man!!!
This is how the next bad guy on Spiderman would have look like
Shows that Iron Man like flight is possible. Never made sense to me til now.
its the making of a new ironman armor
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...
looks sicker than JETLEV + IRON MAN!!!
The jetpack is powerd by the waterjet that is with it the hose is attach to the waterjet
Wow! He flies just like iron man o.o' only with water...
and surprisingly.. it is even possible o.O
that is so freakin cool, that feeling holy shit, must try!
Even the dolphins want one
this is the closest youll get to feeling like IRONMAN
i met this guy in fort lauterdale florida over the summer.
Looks so fun
CHRISTMAS WISHLIST! :D
I think is because the hands stabilizators... That reminded me too.
So Long, and Thanks for All the Fish...
Suddenly: dolphins with frikkin laser beams.
This guy could use and extension tube. I wanna see this thing soar.
I feel the same way too.
Did they just find this out at ITN? Its been on the web and youtube for months, at least 2
beautiful
u just need to imagine what kind of videos could exist on youtube..
Epic.
This is so amazingggg....
You could be like a superhero with this shit.
amazingly awesome !!
This should be a racing sport.
I MUST GO MY PEOPLE NEED ME! (flies away with dolphin jetpack)
You mean swimming with a (cough! cough!) freakin' TWO STROKE!!
This will make any man a kid again.
All i want for Christmas!!! haha
the dolphins would be terrified of this shit.... but I wouldn't mind a go!
Wow. That is cooky cool.
Towards the end this reminds me of the green goblin's glider! God damn I love science
They did actually make a glider where it is a platform that you stand on with two rocket-like engines and you fly with it.
Considering jet skis work normally underwater, I think that, if you had a breather, you could just use this normally underwater.
So, how long till this guy becomes a super hero?
Actual Dolphin Man!
