There is no doubt it's something right out of a James Bond film. There, suspended above the water's surface on what appear to be small jet packs for your feet, people are propelled skyward underneath a steady and very strong stream of water. Like porpoises, people fly in and shoot out of the water, attracting and astounding onlookers. If you've never heard of it, you had better get familiar with it because odds are it is already being done at a lake or ocean near you!
It's called "flyboarding" and if this looks addicting, looks are not deceiving you one bit…it's a whole lot of fun.
The Jorgenson siblings all took a shot at this new sport on the Jordanelle Reservoir the other day, with some spectacular results. Dustin, Lance and their spouses took time out from running all the divisions of Jorgenson Industrial Companies to let off some steam and have some good old fashioned family fun.
"It was something I've never done before and it looked like something anyone would want to do," said Dustin Jorgenson. "It took some time to get used to how to 'steer' the flyboard but once you were up, it was a lot of fun."
Flyboarding is the ultimate thrill of a lifetime. The Flyboard is a revolutionary and very fun watersports apparatus which allows propulsion into the air, and yes, even underwater as long as you can hold your breath. Once people get on the Flyboard, it is all about balance and how to use some of those lesser known muscles in your feet.
"Flyboarding was definitely cool," adds Dustin. "I am looking forward to having another family getaway and watching all of us attempt it again!"
