Fly Board at Havelock Island
Powerful water jets strapped to your feet lift you clear of the surface — hover, dive like a dolphin, or soar up to 15 metres above the water. One of the most cutting-edge water sports now available in Havelock.
Fly boarding straps a board to your feet, connected by a hose to a jet ski behind you. The jet ski's engine forces water down through the board at high pressure, and that thrust is what lifts you into the air — hovering above the surface, diving forward like a dolphin, or rising several metres straight up, all controlled by how you angle your feet and body.
It looks like it takes serious skill, but the learning curve is quicker than most people expect. A trained instructor controls the jet ski's throttle for you and talks you through balance and control from the water, so first-timers are usually up and hovering within their first few attempts.
Briefing and fitting
Your instructor fits the board and explains the basics of balance and hand signals before you're in the water.
Getting your balance
The first few minutes are about finding stability just above the surface — most guests fall a few times before it clicks, which is completely normal.
Hovering and flying
Once you've got the balance, your instructor lets you climb higher and try controlled dives and turns.
