The FlyBoard is a water propelled snowboard-looking contraption which launches the rider about 30 feet into the air and allows you to swim like a dolphin through the ocean. After hearing so much about this relatively new big boy toy, we had to see it for ourselves. Where better to check it out than in Miami?
FlyBoard305 is a water sports and water activities company based out of Diner Key, Coconut Grove, Miami. If you have never attempted something like this before, then Flyboard305 is the perfect company to test the water with. The team are extremely welcoming, professional, knowledgeable and friendly. The instructor will talk you through it every step of the way and give you pointers so that you get the most out of your experience.
“The feeling is incredible, it’s almost as if you are weightless and this is such a strange sensation, something the body isn’t used to. You feel like you are flying. It is much easier than it looks, I didn’t think I would be able to get so high, but it definitely gives you a work out at the same time. I think it’s more about having balance than strength, once you have grasped how to position yourself you can work on getting higher or staying up for longer or doing tricks, although I think I need a few more sessions before I can perfect my backflip! We sailed out for around 10 minutes to make sure we had space to ourselves, the Miami skyline in the backdrop is awesome. Totally worth it, we would definitely do this again” - Kirsty Gallagher |
The location is perfect, Coconut Grove is a fun place to hang out, easily accessible with free parking. The flyboard sessions known as ‘flights’ are available for 30 minute and 60 minute periods and prices start from around 150 USD per person.
